I cannot click 'Allow' for app permissions

[Android Central Question]

Hello, I have had my smartphone for about 1-2 years now and I've had this problem the whole time. I have never been able to find an answer online. Whenever I open an app and it asks for permission, I cannot tap allow, only deny. So every time this happens I have to navigate through settings and manually allow the permissions for the app. I have tried putting my phone in safe mode to disable 3rd party apps and I still have the issue (I tested with the camera app by turning the permission off). I have no idea what this could be. I am on android 7.1 and my phone is a Ulefone T1 (good phone, just this problem). Any feedback would be appreciated, Thanks!

Ok , your welcome, hope it works out.

I finally found out what the problem was and I feel very dumb for not figuring it out sooner.

My phone came with a feature in settings called "Eyebrow Mode" which dims the screen and can change the color temperature.





If I have the blue filter on, everything works just fine, but if I have any of the "More mode" options on, then it will draw over my screen and not allow me to tap allow or turn on accessibility services.

However, I still like to have my screen dim at night, so I installed a screen dimming app.
I just have to temporarily turn it off when I need to tap allow, but I am still looking for a better, more permanent solution.
