Unlock the Magic: Enabling Messenger's Chat Bubbles on iPhone and iPad

Facebook Messenger brings the famed chat bubbles feature from Android to iPhone and iPad, providing support for users messaging through Messenger.

Now, iPhone and iPad users also get the valuable chat bubbles feature, an upgrade that's indispensable for frequent texters. However, due to differences in the iOS operating system, IOS's chat bubbles differ significantly from Android. While Android's chat bubbles can overlay all apps, IOS's version operates exclusively within the Facebook app. Thus, responding with chat bubbles is only possible within the Facebook app. Additionally, the iOS chat bubbles on Messenger, being a new feature, encounter various issues. This article from Software Tips guides you on how to activate chat bubbles on Messenger for iPhone and iPad.

Step 1: Open the Facebook app on your iPhone or iPad, and ensure they are updated to the latest version from the AppStore.

The chat bubble feature is a recent addition, so it will only appear on specific accounts and the latest Facebook versions.

Step 2: On Facebook's main interface, choose

Options (1) and select Settings & Privacy (2) to begin the setup. Next, select Settings (3) to modify the feature.

Step 3: In Notification settings, locate Notifications via Messenger and activate the Chat Bubbles feature to display chat bubbles on the screen.

Step 4: Now, simply open the Facebook app and initiate any conversation; your screen will show chat bubbles similar to those on an iPhone.

Currently, the chat bubble feature only functions within Facebook. If you exit the Facebook app on your phone, the bubbles will be disabled. In future updates, Facebook might extend the chat bubble interface to work across all apps and locations on iPhone and iPad.

In this article, Software Tips has guided you on how to enable the chat bubble feature on your iPhone and iPad. Wishing you all a delightful day!
