In the first instance we must say in this sense that when we talk about screen overlay, we are talking about a special permission that is granted to certain applications, by which they are displayed on top of others that we have open.
Probably one of the most famous and visible cases is that of Messenger, the Facebook chat, thanks to which we can see how every time someone talks to us from this platform, a bubble appears that overlaps the other applications. These chat bubbles get in the way of other applications that are running even when we find it annoying. That, precisely, is the overlap.
Well, it is for this reason that before going to the Settings to make the corresponding changes, you have to check very carefully which are the applications that perform this type of annoying actions, such as Messenger, although there are also others. You must not forget them.
