For several generations the Android operating system will allow us to choose between activating or deactivating floating notifications on Android phones . However, with the arrival of Android 10 and later Android 11 this has radically changed. This has also been modified in Huawei and Xiaomi, which is why we are going to show you how you can configure it on your smartphone.
For those who do not know, floating notifications are that alert that appears on the screen of our mobile when someone sends us a message, we receive a notification or in general we have a new alert on our mobile. We can see it whenever we have the screen on and that allows us not to have to lower the notification bar to be able to consult it.
Floating notifications on Android
Unlike what happened before and what we can see in MIUI or EMUI, the floating notifications of the operating system have changed drastically. We no longer have an access within the settings to activate or deactivate them. This is exported to the Google Pixel and in the same way to all the brands of the panorama. The change in the system has been relevant and has made us have to learn a new method to modify floating notifications on mobile.
Now what we have to do is keep the notification that we have received pressed and we can change the relevance of the letter. When the notification is in Priority or Default mode, the floating notification will work, but however when you switch it to Silent mode, the floating notification will not work and neither will the sound.
Enable or disable floating notifications on Xiaomi
In case of having a Xiaomi mobile, here the options are very different. MIUI 12 and later versions offer us the option to choose floating notifications by applications . You just have to go into Settings> Notifications and tap on the button called “Floating”. This will take us to a new tab where we can manually choose the apps that do and do not have access to this type of alerts on our mobile.
Change floating notifications in EMUI
The configuration of this type of notifications on Huawei phones is very curious, since it is not within the settings and it is not easy to carry out from the notification itself as we saw in Android. In this case we are going to make use of the Optimizer tool that is found in all Huawei phones.
We just have to access it and we will see the option called Floating notifications . By clicking on it we will come across all the apps that have access to show us floating notifications on the mobile screen, being able to change it simply by activating or deactivating the controller.
Floating notifications on Samsung, Realme, OPPO and the others
The new versions in Android have been facilitating the processes and also the tutorials, achieving that, among other things, the option to activate or deactivate these floating notifications is the same on all mobiles with Android operating system. In this way, all we have to do is the same as in smartphones with Android Stock , without layers of customization; long press the notification and change the priority to silent.
It does not matter that we have an Android mobile together with One UI, Realme UI or any of the customization layers of the Android world, the steps to follow are the same.
