Android 17 is introducing app bubbles as a new way to multitask.

On the system launcher, you have to long press the app icon to select the option to start the app as a bubble.

    Unfortunately, Google currently only allows the system launcher to launch apps in a bubble, which means Niagara Launcher as well as other third-party launchers can't support it. We'll have to wait for a later Android release and hope for Google to expose these APIs.

    The option to start apps in bubble mode is now standard in Android 17 beta 3 (long press - top right icon).

    It would be nice to have it in long press menu in niagara
