I personally really liked the idea of bubbles, messenger bubbles are great and having them for all kinds of apps was great, the UI works flawlessly, with the bubbles moving when obstructing the keyboard or PIP.
But some texts never register as conversation for some reason, so you can't bubble them, the plus icon doesn't even suggest contacts or google message's own conversation ?
I'm so sad they dropped the ball on this feature, which was well polished but needed just a few bugfixes that never came for 2 android versions.
I think it's because I'm someone who uses a lot of different apps so it's less tiring for me to answer in a bubble when watching YouTube for example than just pausing and switching apps completely.
still, it feels weird that they implemented this in android 11 (or 12 ?) and literally never updated them.
