"Draw over apps" is a feature in Android that allows apps to draw over other apps or the device's screen. This feature is commonly used by apps like Facebook Messenger, which displays chat heads that can be accessed from any screen.
To use the "Draw over apps" feature, an app needs to request permission from the user. If you grant permission, the app can draw on top of other apps or the device's screen.
On Android, you can use the "draw over other apps" permission to achieve this. Here are the steps to do so:
Go to your phone's "Settings" menu.
Scroll down and tap on "Apps & notifications."
Tap on the app for which you want to enable or disable the "draw over other apps" permission.
Tap on "Advanced" (you may need to tap on "App permissions" first, depending on your phone).
Scroll down and find the "Draw over other apps" option.
Toggle the switch on or off, depending on whether you want to allow the app to draw over other apps.
Note that some apps may require this permission in order to function properly. However, it's generally a good idea to be cautious about which apps you allow to draw over other apps, as it can potentially interfere with other app functionality and security.
To disable the "Draw over apps" feature for a specific app, you can follow these steps:
Open the "Settings" app on your Android device.
Scroll down and select "Apps & notifications."
Select the app for which you want to disable the "Draw over apps" feature.
Select "Permissions."
Toggle off the "Draw over other apps" option.
If you want to disable the "Draw over apps" feature for all apps, you can follow these steps:
Open the "Settings" app on your Android device.
Scroll down and select "Apps & notifications."
Select "Advanced."
Select "Special app access."
Select "Draw over other apps."
Toggle off the "Allow drawing over other apps" option.
Note that disabling the "Draw over apps" feature for some apps may cause those apps to lose certain functionality.
