Google brought chat bubbles to its mobile operating system with the launch of Android 11. Now, Microsoft is rolling out the support for this feature to its Skype app.

In case you aren’t sure what chat bubbles do, here’s a quick brief: chat bubbles enable users of a messaging app to minimize their chat windows into tiny free-flowing bubbles that can be moved around on the screen easily. The bubbles look somewhat like the ping-pong ball and they allow users to keep using another app while they are chatting with a friend or a colleague.
