Facebook launches Chat Heads for staying in touch with friends


Facebook's Chat Heads feature will let users interact with their friends while in any app.


(Credit: James Martin/CNET) Facebook today unveiled its new Chat Head feature for Android devices, giving users a way to stay in constant contact with friends, no matter what they're doing on their mobile devices.

Whenever someone messages you either through text or chat messaging, a small photo of the person will pop up at the top of your screen. It will initially show a brief preview so you know what the message is about. While the preview will go away, the Chat Head image will remain on the top of the screen, no matter what app you access or what else you do on the phone. It also will show the number of unread messages you have.
