How can I find layover apps or prevent them from being on my phone?

[AC Question]

Can't seem to find anything on my phone. Will this require for me to set my phone to factory reset? Or can I use an app to locate it and do they have one that can prevent it from happening again?

Not sure what you are asking here. Some things like notifications etc need to have screen overlay permission, so they can appear over the top of whatever else you are doing.

Welcome to Android Central! Yeah, sounds like a question about screen overlay. There are lots of threads about this -- try this one: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...often-some-apps-what-how-properly-select.html
