Google officially rolled out bubbles with the first Android 11 Beta this week.
Messages will soon be updated to support bubbles within weeks, starting with beta builds.
At the moment, only Facebook Messenger supports the new API. The company switched from its own chatheads to Google's bubbles just prior to the launch of the beta.
Google debuted Android 11's first beta this week with a slew of features including the new "bubbles" interface for messaging apps. In essence, it's what Facebook introduced as "chatheads" a few years ago, but now officially built into the operating system as something any app can use.
Bubbles currently only work in Messenger as Facebook quickly got on board with Google's implementation, but Google will light it up in Android Messages soon.
"Bubbles for Android Messages will be enabled over the next month. If you're in the Android Messages Beta, you'll receive an update starting in the next week or two that enables the new feature. This feature is controlled on the application side, so you will be able to use the feature on 3rd party messaging apps as our partners start enabling it."
