Asus zenphone max pro m1, OS/ Android version 9 (pie)

btw,
I though this is malware / virus.
when i open google play store, then click the uninstall button in any application that i have installed.
this search-floating-icon automatically disappears, as if it was also uninstalled.
then 30 minutes laters its appear again..

damn @#$%^

What does this floating icon do when you tap it?

When clicked, it shows input search with bing icon.

Thanks for posting the video -- you clearly don't have the exact same issue as the OP of this thread, since the icon you have is a search icon, while the OP described an icon with a "man symbol."

I agree with mustang7757 -- if you don't have some initial suspicion of which app is responsible, you may just have to uninstall apps one by one until the problem goes away.
