The chat heads were floating message notifications that could be opened independently of whatever else a user may be doing in the background on their smartphone. The chat heads show up as a small circle on your screen filled with a user&#8217;s profile pic and a number indicator. The chat heads can be moved around, but they stay docked to an edge of the screen. Tapping on them will open a window where you can reply or open the message in the full Messenger app. When you are ready to get rid of the chat head, just drag it down to the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n<p>You do not need to install Facebook Home to take advantage of the chat heads. Just install or update Facebook Messenger on Android 2.2 and up using one of the Google Play download links below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a  style=\"border: 0 none;cursor: default;text-decoration: none\" href=\"http:\/\/redirectingat.com\/?id=3031X597718&#038;xs=1&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fgoqr.me%2F&#038;sref=rss\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" alt=\"QR Code generator\" src=\"http:\/\/api.qrserver.com\/v1\/create-qr-code\/?data=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dcom.facebook.orca&amp;size=125x125&amp;prov=goqrme\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a  href=\"http:\/\/redirectingat.com\/?id=3031X597718&#038;xs=1&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dcom.facebook.orca&#038;sref=rss\">Google Play Download Link<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Come comment on this article: <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/158059-facebook-messenger-adds-chat-heads-to-android-app\/\">Facebook Messenger adds chat heads to Android app<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:right;\"><small>Visit <a  rel=\"dofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/\">TalkAndroid for Android news<\/a>, <a  rel=\"dofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/guides\/\">Android guides<\/a>, and much more!<\/small><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums\/~4\/1eWPhY1Xdj0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Facebook announced their new Facebook Home, one feature that actually received a fairly warm reception was the &#8220;chat heads&#8221; function.
