Your Samsung phone already has something better than Android 17 App Bubbles — here’s how to use it
Samsung devices include a Pop‑Up View feature that functions similarly to the upcoming Android 17 App Bubbles. The article explains how to enable and use this multitasking tool on Samsung phones. It also compares the experience to the native Android implementation.
- ▪The Pop‑Up View can be activated in Settings under Advanced Features, where users can toggle the feature on or off.
- ▪Once enabled, users can open an app in a floating window by selecting the Pop‑Up View icon from the recent‑apps overview or by long‑pressing an app icon.
- ▪The floating window can be resized, moved, and dismissed, allowing users to interact with multiple apps simultaneously without leaving the current screen.
- ▪The feature works with a wide range of popular apps such as messaging, browsers, and media players, offering a comparable experience to Android 17’s App Bubbles.
