Disable chat-heads (for WhatsApp, etc.) on Samsung devices After an Android 9.0 Pie update on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, I have noticed that Whatsapp Messenger notifications come up similar to how Facebook Messenger notifications are delivered - with a chat head. This is a circle with the messenger's profile picture showing, and clicking on it opens a small window with the message shown.

I preferred when this chat head was never there, and I got to see a preview of the message for a few seconds just below the top of the screen when a message arrives.

I have tried turning off pop-up notifications on WhatsApp, but this seems to be something different entirely, as the chat heads continue to come up.

Is it possible to turn this feature off?
