The smart pop-up view is a very new and useful feature that has been injected into Samsung Galaxy devices that are running Android 9.0 (Pie), Android 10 (Q) and is also available on Android 11 and Android 12. When a Smart pop-up view is enabled on your Samsung Galaxy device then there’s no need to open the actual app. Instead, you can view and interact with messages in a floating window that sits on top of anything else you’ve opened on the screen. So, in this guide, you will learn how to enable and disable Smart Pop-up View on Samsung Galaxy phones.
What is Smart Pop up View?
The pop-up view is a handy feature of premium Samsung Galaxy models that allows app notifications to be displayed on top of another active app just like Facebook’s Messenger app. A user can opt to allow an icon to be displayed on the screen so he or she can tap on it to expand a small window to see what the notification is about.
Meanwhile, you can also set the transparency, minimize, maximize, close, and reply instantly and there’s no need to open the actual app. However, This feature is only available on Samsung devices that are running Android 9 or Android 10.
How to Enable Smart Pop-up on Samsung Galaxy

Opoos, I’m trying to disable the annoying “smart pop-up view” but just can’t find “Smart pop-up view” in “Advanced features” page, nor in “search”. I’m using S20 and Android 11. Any ideas then? Thanks in advance.
Hi dear!
Go to Settings.
Tap Notifications.
Tap Advanced Settings.
Now, tap Floating notifications and select Off.
That works, great! Lots of thanks!! 😀
You’re welcome.
I’ve turned off the floating notifications and yet when I try to swipe down on the notifications it opens a small window. Any idea how to get rid of this on s23+?
Make sure Swipe for pop-up view is turned off within: Settings > Advanced Features > Labs.
I’ve tried both this and checking labs and it’s all been disabled and i still get them even after restarting my phone. I’ve got an A52s on android 13.
