Chat bubbles are a Messenger feature integrated into the Facebook application. You can text with friends right at the Facebook interface without having to open Messenger. This feature has been available on Facebook for a long time, but was then removed in 2016, because Facebook wanted to promote the Messenger application to users.

How to use Chat Bubbles on Facebook 2021
Turn on chat bubbles on iPhone
The chat bubble feature on iPhone can only be used in the Facebook application. If you exit Facebook, the chat bubble will not appear. On iPhone, if you want to chat, you need to go to Messenger or Facebook application.
To turn on chat bubbles, access the Settings Menu of the Facebook application on your phone. Depending on the account, there will be a Menu icon with 3 lines in the middle or Menu 3 dashes in the right corner.
Next you choose the function Privacy settings -> Setting
Scroll down a bit to the bottom, find the section Notifications -> Notifications via Messenger.
Here, if your account is in the testing area of enabling Facebook Chat Bubbles, there will be a line Chat bubbles under.
In case you don’t have the chat bubble function, try updating to the latest iOS 14.5 Facebook updates to the latest version.
If your iPhone is jailbroken, install the following source into Cydia:
Then install the tweak named:
- ChatBubbles Messenger
- ChatBubbles Lite
- ChatBubbles SMS
Or you can install tweak PullOver Pro to show the chat feature next to the screen.
Enable chat bubbles on Android
Turning on the chat bubble feature on Android, you can chat anytime on the phone screen whether you exit the application or not. This is a multitasking feature on Android that the iPhone does not have. However, currently only Android 11 supports this feature.
Unlike iPhone, you need to install the Messenger application. In Messenger’s settings, you just need to turn on the feature Bubbles go up.
The Bubbles feature will have 3 options:
- All conversations: all incoming messages will appear in bubbles.
- Selected conversations: Only people you select will appear in bubbles when there are messages.
- Nothing: By default there will be no bubbles. If you want to chat, go to Messenger to text.
So you can turn on chat bubbles on iPhone and Android. In my opinion, this feature is quite convenient, helping to chat right on the screen without having to go to the Messenger application. Please turn on this feature immediately if you are in the testing area.
