## What is Bubbl Widget?

Bubbl is a widget that shows live text feeds from your best friends, right to your Home Screen. You and your best friends will see each other's thoughts & statuses every time you unlock your phone. It’s a little glimpse of what everyone’s up to throughout the day.


Think of a sticky note with something sweet written to your loved ones, hanged on the mirror, fridge or a desk. They see it whenever they pass by, but now, it’s directly on their home screen.


HOW IT WORKS
1. Add the Bubbl widget to your Home Screen
2. When a friend sends you a custom note, it instantly appears on your Bubbl widget!
3. To share back, tap into the widget, create a new note with your own touch, and then hit send! It appears right on your friends’ Home Screens

FOR YOUR CLOSE FRIENDS
• To keep things for the inner circle, you can only have 20 friends on the app.
• On Bubbl, there’s no worrying about follower count, just add your best friends and family and live in the moment.
• With Bubbl, you’re able to be real and share your thoughts to the people that matter.

REACT TO FRIENDS' BUBBLS
• Send a Bubbl reaction to your friends to let them know you saw their note.
• They’ll get a notification and you’ll love watching the emojis rain down on your notes.
• We don’t count or track the reactions, so you can be real and authentic without worrying about likes and filters like other platforms.

BUILD A HISTORY OF YOUR BUBBL
• As you and friends share notes, you’ll build up a history of all notes sent.
• Share them out as photos capturing those “love it” moments.

ADD BUBBL FOR YOUR BESTIES AND CRUSHES
• Decorate your home screen with more widgets dedicated to your crush or your bestie
• Choose who shows up in each individual widget, and see notes only from that person. 

Download the free app! We’re keeping Bubbl free so you can send to the people that matter (friends, family, bestie, etc.). With Bubbl, your phone will feel like it’s bringing you closer to your best friends.
