What Is Screen Overlay?U r a genius
God bless u this Sunday n NW and alwys. Amen. Thank u. The first method worked for me

Recently, Android introduced a new feature called "Draw over other apps" in Marshmallow and Nougat. This feature allows some apps to draw over other apps. Which simply makes an app to show info on top of other apps. For instance, Whatsapp Messenger uses this feature for their chat heads to be shown over other apps as seen below.

Sometimes when installing new applications, Android will display a pop up showing""Screen Overlay Detected". That occured because some installed apps which has "Draw over other apps" permission enabled is running on background.

To be sincere, this is a great security measure from Android, to stop some useless apps you may have installed mistakenly, from interfering with the default Android settings.

These apps may carryout unwanted things when the overlay is running in background and asking for permissions. Mind you, Android will never allow such, so the Screen Overlay Detected error pop up message will be displayed.

Moreover, there's nothing to worry about, it is a normal thing and it remains in Android as an extra security measure, and is displayed on Android running Marshmallow and above.
