What Does Drawing Over Other Apps Means? by phonedaddy(op): 8:57am On Feb 14, 2019
Allows an application to open windows using the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT, shown on top of all other applications. This permission allows an app to show a "popup" window above all other apps, even if the app is not in the foreground. A malicious developer/advertiser could use it to show very obnoxious advertising. Almost no apps should require this permission unless they are part of the Android operating system. An example of a system alert would be the alert you are shown when your phone or tablet is out of battery and is about to shut down.
