chat bubble
Dialogue box symbol
A chat bubble is the rounded shape enclosing text in messaging apps and comic strips, typically with a small tail pointing toward the speaker or sender.
In digital interfaces, your messages appear on one side, theirs on the other, each in its own bubble: I watched the three dots in the chat bubble, waiting for her reply.
The shape has become iconic shorthand for conversation itself, appearing in app icons and "contact us" buttons.
