Bubbles for WhatsApp is an Android app that enhances your control over WhatsApp notifications.

Overview

Bubbles for WhatsApp is an innovative tool designed to enhance your WhatsApp user experience by offering the ability to customize notifications. With this app, users can gain instant access to their WhatsApp messages without having to open the app itself. This lets users quickly scan through the list of contacts who have sent messages and determine the urgency of the response required.

Usability

The app is remarkably user-friendly, allowing users to navigate through its menu and set up their preferences with ease. Users have the option to manually adjust the settings to control when they want the bubbles to notify them of incoming messages from specific contacts. This feature allows users to manage their notifications in a way that suits their personal needs and schedule.

Customizability

Bubbles for WhatsApp also offers a high level of customization. Users can alter the color of the notification bubbles, providing a unique and personalized visual cue. The app also displays the contact's information within its bubble, offering users a quick snapshot of who the message is from without having to leave their current screen.

Notification Management

An exceptional feature of Bubbles for WhatsApp is its ability to replace standard WhatsApp notifications. Users can choose to only receive Bubbles for WhatsApp notifications, thus eliminating the need to deal with immediate responses. This feature gives users more control over their time and how they manage their conversations.

Flexibility

Apart from managing contact alerts, Bubbles for WhatsApp also offers flexibility in terms of how users wish to receive these alerts. With just a single click, users can toggle between receiving and not receiving notifications. This feature is especially useful for users who may wish to mute notifications during certain periods.

Potentially dangerous permissions

GET_ACCOUNTS: Allows access to the list of accounts in the Accounts Service.
READ_CONTACTS: Allows an application to read the user's contacts data.
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.

Other permissions

ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Allows an app to create windows using the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT, shown on top of all other apps. Very few apps should use this permission; these windows are intended for system-level interaction with the user.
VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
