Premier Clip, Android, "screen overlay detected"?

[Bill_NM_Aerial_Photos]

I'm trying to give Premier Clip (PC) permission to access my Google Photos.

PC says: "Screen overlay detected, to change this permission setting, you first have to turn off the screen overlay from Settings - > apps"

But doesn't say what to do next... There is no obvious setting in Settings - > apps.

Any ideas as to what is going on?

Thanks

Bill

To be true Screen Overlay is basic feature used by almost every application.

Messenger Chat Head, Inbox Messages Preview and Whatsapp Messages Popups are all example of screen overlay feature, so you cant uninstall all application to resolve Screen Overlay Detected popups on your device...

You just need to manually turn of screen overlay of all applications in your device, Follow following settings to turn off screen overlay of android application:

> Settings

>Application Manager

>Click on Three Dots (Top right corner) & Select Draw Over Other Apps

>Turn off screen overlay of all apps one by one

This must solve the issue of screen overlay in your device...

If this isn't solving then screen overlay issue in your device or you haven't got my answer then refer to below reference: How to turn off screen overlay.
