How To Activate/Enable The New Google's Dialer Feature On Rooted And Non-rooted Android Smartphones (Devices)
Just recently, Google deployed the latest update (version 11) for its dialer "read phone" app for Nexus and Pixel phones which can only be turned on with the aid of root.
The floating bubble on Google dialer is a new feature which provides the user with the ability to make use of in-call action without going to the call screen.
This feature helps to bring out pop-up (chat head) which is exactly like the one of Facebook messenger with the Google's navy blue phone icon will appear on the screen of your Android device whenever call screen is exited.
However, the Google dialers chat head can be moved to any direction on the screen, just like it is done using Facebook messenger.
Three options will be provided to you whenever you tap on the chat head which gives you the access to enable speaker mode, mute ongoing call and also end an ongoing call.
Hence, this feature can be enabled only with the aid of root access for the Pixel and Nexus phones while it can be applied to other devices with or without root access.
This feature comes in handy while operating your phone and be present in an ongoing call at the same time. Previously, I can only be in an in-call screen whenever I receive an incoming call or calling someone.
Perhaps, I can try to do any other thing by putting my phone on loud speaker then will minimize my phone but I won't be provided with the feature to remove from loud speaker, mute the call except the end call option which can only be provided when I bring down my notification panel.
Fortunately for me, I can now make use of all the above features using the new Floating bubble from any screen I am at.
Having seen how important this feature is in an Android device, I guess that it'll be a good idea to share with you how you can get this feature on your Android smartphone.
Take Note: This feature cannot work on any Android phone that is less than Marshmallow update, it only supports Android marshmallow and above.
