This occurs when a character is looking at something on a phone, which is small and hard to show to the audience, and the contents of the screen are shown as a pop-up floating somewhere in the midst of the action. This is done to avoid having the character either read or say what it is he's looking at, or the camera cutting to a tight shot of the screen over their shoulder or from their POV. In this way, viewers are kept in the loop without having possibly needless exposition dialogue or close shots that limit action in other places.
While most often used with cell phones, it can be used to show what's on any kind of screen without showing the screen itself.
This video by Every Frame a Painting has further examination and analysis on this trope in the first half (the second half is about the portrayal of the internet).
Contrast Sounding It Out, and Viewer-Friendly Interface, which is having impractical interfaces on computers that are easily seen by the audience.

Sherlock is the Trope Codifier, making considerable use of this, showing texts and anything else on a phone screen floating in the air, and allowing Sherlock to have his Establishing Character Moment when he's not even present!

Played with in the film adaptation of iBoy. Whenever Tom texts someone, the message will show up like this for the viewer, but this is because he's actually got the ability to see electrical signals. He doesn't even have to use his hands.

House of Cards (US): Used frequently, with characters texting each other furiously to make deals, arrange meetings and conduct other governmental or personal business. Commentary tracks reveal that the creators felt their use of this trope was ground-breaking and were dismayed to learn that the same effect was being deployed in Sherlock while they were finishing the first season.

Selfie's main character, Eliza Dooley, spends most of her time looking at one or more screens simultaneously. While all the things she's looking at are done in this manner, important text conversations are usually displayed more prominently and legibly, while the less relevant windows are shown in thumbnail, represented as icons, or scaled-down.

In the first episode of Utopia, a group of characters have a conversation on the forum dedicated to a cult Graphic Novel called The Utopia Experiments. Each line of text appears floating next to whoever the camera is focused on. If it is the person that is typing the message, it appears next to their head. At one point, a line text distorts as it passes behind a glass of wine.

The Windshield Wiper: One person texts the other (as the film shows only the communications satellite that's relaying the texts) and says "Yesterday was fun, right?". The other person agrees. After a couple of more texts the first person says that they felt a connection and they really want to see the other person again, and again, and again. This vignette ends with the other person's text window going "...".

Parodied in the American Dad! episode "Kloger" when Roger is texting Klaus. Once Francine steps back, she sees the floating text bubbles, but when she touches one, it burns her finger off. Afterwards, Roger states that text bubbles are made of flesh-eating bacteria, and Francine cowers as the text bubbles surround her.

In the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks musical short "Perfect Day for Fun" released on Hasbro Studios Shorts' YouTube channel, the main characters try to find a common meeting place at their school carnival. As they communicate via text, they have pop-ups indicating what they are saying, although they only do this through symbols, with no actual words displayed in the pop-up (e.g. "Butterfly Star @ Photo Booth" means "Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle are near the photo booths").

UK Soap Opera Hollyoaks will do this sometimes, especially if the text is important to the storyline. This was pretty unique for the time.

The second episode of Burn Notice used pop-ups as Micheal texted his friends, although they didn't notice because they were too busy arguing. Later episodes did away with the trope, so it only existed early on.

Used in The LEGO Ninjago Movie when Lloyd Garmadon's classmates start texting to complain about having to wait for the school bus at the same stop as him.
