EMUI 12, dragging down Whatsapp notification causes it to create Whatsapp floating window

[chrisgeller]

Hi,
Just got the EMUI 12 update on my P30 Pro. I hate what they've done to the notification/control panel.
Anyway, when I get a Whatsapp message, and I try to drag down to read the whole thing, it suddenly creates a little pop out Whatsapp floating window. How do I stop it doing this?

Did anyone reply? Struggling to tell on this website sorry.

I have searched and searched and cannot find a way to disable this ridiculous and annoying feature.

I can't reasonably use WhatsApp in a floating window and I can't use whatever app it is obscuring.

Hey, no - no replies. I found a floating window part of the settings but it didn't make any difference. Only recommendation is to teach yourself to press the little down arrow on the notification instead. Very annoying. If I can't get used to it I think I'll actually swap the phone for something else when I get the chanc!
