How Facebook may inspire Google for this Android Q feature

Google might soon be seen sporting a feature that until now was limited to Facebook Messenger – chat head bubbles. The search giant has included this feature in its Android Q beta 1 version, which was rolled out to Pixel smartphones last week. This ‘hidden’ feature can be enabled using ADB (Android Debug Bridge) in the current beta version of Android Q.
Once enabled, all the notifications that you get will have their own chat ‘bubbles’, similar to what we have seen with Facebook Messenger. The concept is not new for Google as the search giant last year introduced chat head notification for in-call functions.
