How to Turn Off Screen Overlay on Android:
1) Open your Android’s Settings. It’s the gear ( ) icon typically found in the app drawer.
This method is helpful when you see an error message that says “Screen overlay detected. To change this permission setting, you first have to turn off the screen overlay from Settings > Apps.”
The error sometimes occurs when you update an app that supports screen overlays.

2) Scroll down and tap Apps. This may be called Applications on some devices.

3) Tap ?. It’s at the top-right corner of the app list.

4) Tap Configure Apps.

If you don’t see this option, look for a gear icon ( ) or Application Manager.
If you tapped Application Manager, tap More at the top-right corner of the screen, then proceed to the next step.

5) Tap Draw over other apps. This may be called Can appear on top on some devices. If you don’t see either of these options, it’s probably buried in a sub-menu. Tap the menus until you find it.

6) Tap the app that gave you the error message. Common apps that have screen overlays are Messenger, WhatsApp, Clean Master, Drupe, screen recorders, and Lux.

7) Slide the “Permit drawing over other apps” switch to the (Off) position. Screen overlays are now disabled for this app. You can now return to the app in which you saw the error message to try again.....

1. Open your Settings.
2. Tap Apps.
3. Tap this icon ?
4. Tap Configure Apps.
5. Tap Draw over other apps.
6. Tap the app you were using.
7. Slide the switch to the Off position.

Hope this help.
1. From your home page go to Main Settings by pulling down the Notification Bar and clicking on the Settings icon at the top right of the screen. (it's gear shaped)
2. Scroll down the Settings menu, and click on Applications under the Phone section about two thirds down the page.
3. At the top of this new menu click on "Applications Manager".
4. In the top right corner of the Applications Manager menu click on "More"
5. Now a click on "Draw over Other Applications"
6. Scroll down this menu and find the offending application, in this example "Facebook"
7. Click on the button to the right of your offending application to deselect it.
8. Close out of the Settings menus.

NOTE: Alternately, deselect all the applications under step 8 except those you know pop up over other applications such as messaging, for example.

What does screen overlay detected mean with android phone?

Step one: "Screen overlay detected" fix

Find you what apps have permission to draw over the screen. On a non-Samsung smartphone, follow these steps:
  • Open the Settings
  • Tap the magnifying glass at the top right
  • Enter the search term "draw"
  • Tap Draw over other apps
  • Alternative route: Apps> [gear icon]> Draw over other apps
For Samsung users:
  • Open the Settings
  • Then Applications > Application manager
  • Press on More > Apps that can appear on top

Step two

You will find yourself in front of a list of apps that have permission to use floating buttons or other screen overlays. Now you need to identify the problem app and temporarily deny it permission to draw over the screen. Here is are some pointers on how to identify the app that's causing trouble:
  • Do you see an app bubble on your screen? If do, this app is almost certainly the cause. Either you hide the app bubble or disable the app in the list
  • Do you have an app installed that changes the colors on the display or adjusts the brightness?
  • Reportedly, Clean Master can be a trouble maker. If you see Clean Master in the list, disable it
  • If there's no obvious cause, disable everything

Step three

Now you can try launching the app again, and it should request permissions without the "Display overlay detected" error getting in the way.
For Samsung users: We have also received a report that suggests the one-handed keyboard setting could be the root cause. Deactivate it by going to Settings> Advanced features > One-handed operation.

Step four: reactivate screen overlays

In order for the app(s) that you have disabled in step two to work again, you need to re-enable its overlay permissions. If you turned off all apps, it might be worth considering only reactivating those apps that you actually use.
This is a rather inelegant workaround, but it's the best we have until Google makes the necessary changes to prevent app overlays from interfering with permission dialogues.
Has this guide helped? If you are still experiencing the error after following our guide, leave a comment, so we can try and address the problem.
