Notifications for which app?

Well i have a tablet reminder which is the one which is ok to have but for the others not needed.

Facebook(chat heads off on facebook)/ text messages /tapatalk/paypal and a few more,there like a little bubble like chat heads.

Say text if i tap on it i get a smaller pop up which i can write a text in the middle of the screen which is fine but just dont need this stuff.

I need the notification so i get the icon on locked screen and flashing light with app count/number but not this Bubble for seems like quick response option.

 

The PIE update isn’t available on my phone for another couple of weeks so I don’t have the bubbles for everything but I do get them for messenger, you can turn them off quite easily.

Settings > notifications > then press on the app you want to change (not the switch, the actual name) and then scroll down to ‘chat heads’ and turn them off.

You know the chat heads  you get on messenger there like that but for all the apps you have a notification from and come on the top of your screen.

See if you turn off the notifications for the apps or app you get nothing which i do want all the notifications just not the Head things but cant see a separate option

I turned the chat heads off on messenger but i don't even know what these are called,all knew but i do like the update to pie it seems good.

I see. Hopefully I will get PIE soon and be able to see and help out. Have you done a Google search?

Yes i looked on google and youtube and i have a rough idea what they are but cant see any info to turn off and on.

I think they are called 'Heads up' and thay are great if you need them as if you press them a mini/small pop up appears on the screen but very small to read

if on like a text message,saying that you only get them if the app supports them i think as some apps don't,i know i get text/ebay/amazon/tablet reminder and more.

Just put a thread on android central under the Pie update see if they know as if they don't i don't think anyone will.

Good Plan.
