Google Testing New App Bubbling Feature to Improve Multitasking on Android Tablets: Report

A recent report reveals references to Google’s upcoming “bubble apps” feature in the latest Android Canary 2510 release. The update will allow users to drag an app’s icon from a tablet’s bottom corner to open it in a floating window, complete with a tutorial and animation. Expanding beyond chat bubbles, this system could make multitasking smoother and more flexible on large screens. The feature may debut with Android 16’s first Quarterly Platform Release in 2026 or Android 17.
