Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge: How to Display a New text Message as Pop Up in Android 5.1.1 Lollipop

When you're using your Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge but not opening the Messages app, you can set your phone to display new text messages as pop-ups so you won't miss any important ones. The pop-up will stay on top for about 10 seconds to let you read the message as soon as it arrives and then take the required action for the message, e.g: reply the message, close the message, etc.


How to enable the pop-up display feature?
You can turn on this feature by using the following steps:
  1. Open the Messages app.
  2. Tap More at the top right and then select Settings.
  3. Tap Notifications. If Notifications is off, slide the ON/OFF switch to the right to turn it on. The switch turns green when it's enabled.
  4. Slide the ON/OFF switch next to Pop-up display to the right to enable it. When the switch turns green , means the pop-up display feature is enabled and your phone will display new text messages as pop-ups on any screen outside the Messages app, except for the lock screen.


How to use the pop-up display feature?
When you're using your phone or opening any app outside the Messages app and a new text message arrives, it will be displayed as a pop-up.


When the preview message feature is also enabled, the pop-up will display the sender and the content of the message as well as provide you with the following options:
  • Close: tap this option to close the pop-up.
  • Reply: tap this option to easily reply the message in the pop-up without opening the message in the Messages app. You can write your message in the provided field and then tap Send button to send your message.
  • View: tap this option to open the message in the Messages app. Alternatively, you can read the whole message by scrolling down or up the message in the pop up.


When the preview message feature is disabled, the pop-up will only inform you that you have a new message and provide you with the following options:
  • Close: tap this option to close the pop-up.
  • View: tap this option to open the message in the Messages app.
