I don't think that this is an app issue but an Android setting that you can turn on/off if you like. Here's what I found and could help you: https://www.reddit.com/r/signal/comments/ntvwvw/disable_chat_bubbles/?rdt=59458
My answer is also based on this post oczywiście 😁
@oliszymanski tried that and multiple other things from the Internet already, nothing works. Seems to me like my phone got no update from Samsung unbanning Signal bubbles
Unfortunately we can't do anything about OEMs blocking certain APIs from us other than to let people know to double check app permissions and trying to talk to OEMs 🤷🏻
@alex-signal aware of that, but opened this as per linked comment
If any new issues with Bubbles arise, please file a new GitHub issue
Adding to this thread because it also affects the A53 5G with all the latest updates. It may be that A-series phones are deprioritized in certain updates. Here's hoping it'll come as a patch in a month or so, because it's extremely confusing that they would only patch their flagships with this.
I have had bubbles working successfully on my Samsung A51, A54, and S24 Ultra here in the USA. I have come to believe that the worldwide rollout is solely under Samsung's control.
In that case I'm still patiently waiting for them to roll it out to Canada.
Just for reference, May 2024 and June 2024 releases for A55 5G in Poland do not fix the issue. Samsung is middle-fingering us.

From https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/13325#issuecomment-2067022409 I understood it has already been discussed with Samsung and that they whitelisted Signal
we have cooperated with Samsung to restore Bubble privileges to Signal
I'm just saying that seems to be a lie on their part as I don't believe they did that fully in all OS versions/for all devices... Is there any point of contact that we as users can try to talk to Samsung? Tried reporting this as issue from in-phone menu, but so far no luck (and no response)
