How to Disable Screen Overlay on Android Devices If you have an Android device, it’s important to know how to disable screen overlay. This can help keep your device more private and secure, and can save you time and energy. Here are some tips:

  1. Open the Settings app. This is the main screen in your device’s main interface. On the left side of the screen, under “System,” you’ll find “Screen Overlay.” Toggle this off if you want to keep your device private and secure.
  2. Change your default browser extension or browser settings if you use a different web browser on a regular basis than the one that comes pre-installed on your Android device. If you use a different web browser every day or more than once a week, then disabling screen overlay may not be necessary for you. However, if you only use one web browser on a regular basis, then disabling screen overlay may be a better idea for security reasons.
  3. Disable notifications from your phone when screensavers or other notifications come up automatically (like when there’s an update available). This will help reduce the amount of time that you spend getting notifications from your phone instead of using whatever else you’re doing at that moment.

If you’re not sure which application is causing the problem, you can try disabling them all and re-enabling them one by one.
