My lock screen notification turned into a floating icon! #208

No obvious way to turn it back. Is this a bug?

Thanks for reaching out.

This is not a bug. Recent versions of the app have replaced the notification and overlay mode by a floating icon. The change was made because previous solutions were unstable and relying on features that are not recommended by Google. As a consequence, I risked an app suspension :(

The floating icon solution is the new way to go. However, I am working on new layouts (floating banner and floating overlay) that will be similar to the old solutions that were existing.

I cannot say exactly when new layouts will be available but it should be between the end of February and end of March.
