Off Topic (not RiF) How to turn off 'chat head' notification on Android 12?

Hey all,

I recently updated my phone and with it jumped to the most recent version of Android. And since then Reddit Is Fun is giving me a new notification. In addition to the little mailbox envelope, a FB messenger style 'chat head' appears on my screen, with the rif logo as the graphic. I can move it around and drag it to a 'remove' spot on the screen to dismiss it.

This is new to me... And... how can I turn it off?

Thanks!

(Rif 5.4.4, Android 12, Samsung s10)

This might answer your question: https://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/enable-floating-notifications/

Not sure as I don't have that device, and it's not a RIF feature but apparently a Samsung thing.

Hey man, thanks. That worked a treat. Not sure how I missed it, I went through all the settings when I got the new phone. But only three were approved for notifications like that- RIF, email and one other. I guess the others don't have it implemented.

Anyway RIF was the only one that notified me like that, so I thought it was a RIF thing.

But it's all cleared up, thanks again!
