[Q] Kik Messenger ?

I just wanted to know if there was anyway that i can configure my Samsung Focus wit WP7 Root Tools to show i received a messages on the bottom of the lock screen just like the default messenger. I have the Kik in a folder tile and its getting on my last nerves i have to open Kik to see if i have a message. If it can't be done i guess I'll just take it out of the folder.

Sorry, No one has figured out how to get notifactions on the lock screen yet.. Might wanna keep an eye on the Custom Roms, they would be your best bet.

Custom Roms is that something in the future or is the future now, I'm new to all these unlock options and I'm having a blast so forgive me for sounding like a noob but I'am one, thanks.

Emoji (Unicode 9.0) - WhatsApp vs GBoard

Currently when using WhatsApp I don't have access to the new set of emojis that were released last year. When people send them to me in WhatsApp they're rendered as GBoard emojis plus extra noise like squares and women symbols.
If I use the GBoard emoji settings I can send them but they're rendered as the Google versions and not the WhatsApp ones, and even when sent as a single emoji WhatsApp doesn't enlarge it like it does the ones available from within the app when tapping the smiley face icon to the left of the text entry box.
WhatsApp have said that this is nothing to do with them, it's all down to the phone. Is this correct? The phone seems to have the ability to display them through GBoard but I'm wondering why not through WhatsApp as native apps. Is there a way to get the Unicode 9.0 characters into WhatsApp without rooting my phone?
Thanks.

whatsapp just rolled out a beta update through the play store , including new emojis and updating (some? i don't think they reworked everything) existing ones

Android 11, Messages Chat Bubble

I have a Pixel 3a, and I updated to Android 11 yesterday (official release) OTA update. My phone is completely stock with Developer mode enabled. I noticed that in the notifications for Messages I do not have the option to break it out into the chat bubble (similar to Facebook Messenger). I verified in the notifications settings that I have All conversations can bubble. I am running Google Messages 6.4.044. Has anyone else run into this yet?
Thank you!

I have bubbles enabled and I don't see the option to make text msgs turn into bubbles either. Neither does FB Messenger show the option.
On top of that, everytime I click on the search bar of any Google app, a small text bubble appears which says "null". Weird a** bugs
Edit: Installing Messages Beta fixed the issue for me. It enables bubbles.

Thank you! If the beta is stable, I'll go that route.

Hi,
Same issue for me regarding bubbles with message and whatsapp.

Bubbles are disabled by default (Messages) or only for selected chats (FB Messenger). So you have to enable first by yourself. Everything is working fine here if enabled properly in the settings.

Bubbles are allowed on my p3a, but I don't see them. I've just installed Messages Bêta and same issue [emoji53]
Edit: precisely I have small bubbles at the top of the screen (as notifications used to be previously but different colors) and I'm unable to move them on the screen and to keep them active (like fb messenger)

For those who have the issue, you're not alone
There is a 400+ posts thread on google assistance forum.

Bubbles seem to work fine for Telegram, Google Messages after upgrade to beta and the easter egg cat.
However FB messenger and WhatsApp notifications show no bubble activation icon.
