[SOLVED] Help identify which app this is

[mreeveshp]

I remember getting an app that would give me the little timer display like iphones in the top center of the screen but now I'm trying to get rid of it and can't remember the name of the app to find it. Anyone happen to know exactly which app this is?

I don't see a timer in that screenshot, so you might have to take a picture of the screen using another device.

What happens if you tap or long-press that?

It goes straight to the clock app, i just checked and I have 2 clock apps so maybe it's something to do with that one but I can't find anything in the settings to get rid of it, only to get rid of the one that shows in my notifications.
For some reason even with timers on throughout the day today I haven't been getting that to show up

Which phone is this? Try booting into Safe Mode, which can help determine if this is due to a 3rd party app or the system.

S23U, how do I boot into safe mode (I've done it but can't remember) and then what do I look for

These are the 2 clock apps I have, using the one on the right

Here are the steps for Safe Mode: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-start-my-galaxy-device-in-safe-mode/. If you boot into Safe Mode and the problem goes away, then you know it's due to some 3rd party app you installed.

Since you have two Clock apps, one of them is definitely going to be 3rd party. If you don't need it, try uninstalling it. I would try that first before going through the Safe Mode step.

Alright thank you I will give getting rid of one a try, if I remember correctly the one on the right that I'm using is the one that came on the phone but I'll check and let you know one way or the other if the issue is resolved

Clock app on left in screenshot shows when it was downloaded from the app store while the app on the right has that part grayed out

The left one looks like Google's. The one on the right might be Samsung's? If you long press and then click app info, it should tell you the developer, or you should be able to find it in the app store.

There's also the possibility it's not a feature of either of those Clock apps. The image you showed makes it look like it wants to be a Dynamic Island, so look through your apps to see if there's something like that installed.

Thank you that did it. I didn't know it was called a dynamic island but once I saw that I remembered seeing dynamic something in my apps so I just looked and found it and it is gone now. Thank you again for the help.

Great! Do you remember the name of the app? It may help if other people have the same issue.

It looks like it also will pop up text messages or whatever else you want kind of emulating the iPhone design
