"Bubbles keep the conversation going—while you stay focused on whatever else you’re doing." Does it get more oxymoronic than this?

- johnasmith 6y agoIt's an (awkward) user friendly spin on what's ultimately a security update. Previously, if an app like FB wanted a bubble, they'd draw a screen overlay via `WindowManager`. That's the same API often misused to draw invisible layouts over your banking app. Providing a purpose built bubbles API lets Android close the door on the riskier API.
- tjbiddle 6y agoThink of it this way: 1) Now, if you do like bubbles - At least it's all in one bubble rather than multiple apps doing their own thing. 2) If you don't like bubbles - you can disable them all at once.
