@gsuberland android is weird enough that i would guess its something like. you have to turn them off on an app by app basis instead of the global option

In response to this post@mothcompute I looked into it for ages and it seems like turning them off at the Android level only affects "official" Android apps, and individual apps do not have a unified control at the OS level to turn them off. so if an app decides it's going to show a bubble, it just can, and it is not required to have a mechanism to say no to that feature.
@mothcompute the most frustrating part is that once it happens (and I still haven't figured out the mechanism by which the bubble starts appearing for a chat) it continues to happen even if you drag the bubble off screen to close it. you have to go find the toggle for the specific chat in the app (which is not a standardised UI flow between apps) to turn it back off.
