How do I get rid of the google “G” that pops up on my sons’s Acer tablet? It is “always on top” And covers up functionality of any app that is being used!

Nothing happens. If I long pressa another icon, it unlocks from background and I can slide it around. Not the G

That means the culprit is an app that your son downloaded. There are different ways to try to identify it. This guide is about full screen ads but the same principles apply on your case, see if it helps.

In my experience the best way to identify the culprit is using the developer options. Also, see which apps have the 'draw over other apps' permission enabled.

I went through all of them and disabled that option for all. Thanks! I hope it works and will report back my findings. So annoying and weird no one else has seen this issue!

Did the icon disappear after that? If so, you can enable them one by one until you get it again. Keep us posted.
These are my apps with that permission enabled, including the same you posted above (accessibility features).
