Consequently, it empowers them to maintain or strengthen connections more effectively with their close contacts.

Users will have freedom while using this feature.

For "message alert," users can apply this feature to "all contacts" or select close ones, up to 5 people.

If selected contacts commence communication with the user, the friends’ avatars and chats, if there are any, will float on the screen, making them visible to the user instantly.

This new iBubble chat feature comes with several benefits, including a functional design focused on the users’ close relationships, where an imo user could prioritize their most important connections.

A smaller space requirement on the screen for imo’s iBubble chat and notifications regarding the online status of the users’ close contacts are also enabled.

To activate this feature, the user will enter the profile page in the imo app, find the feature "iBubble" and tap it.

After activation, the users can choose different user groups for "messages" and "online notification".

Users can, however, remove it at any time by holding down the "floating bubble" and dragging it down to the "X" in the bottom center of the screen.
