Troubleshooting: Screen Overlay Conflicts

It is a security measure in Android (Marshmallow and above) that prevents you from granting sensitive permissions (like the install prompt) while another app is actively drawing content over the screen. It is a safeguard against malicious apps hijacking your touch input during a critical process.

Yes, it is safe to temporarily disable this permission for non-essential third-party apps. You only need to turn it off long enough to complete the MEGA888 APK installation, and then you should re-enable the permission for those apps to restore their intended functionality (like blue light filtering or chat heads).

The most common conflicting apps are those that actively draw a layer on top of the screen: blue light filters (like Twilight, f.lux), battery-saving apps, floating widgets, instant messaging apps with "chat heads," and some screen recording or cleaner applications.

Safe Mode is a diagnostic startup mode that loads only the essential system software, disabling all third-party apps. Since the conflicting overlay app is disabled in Safe Mode, the installation prompt for the MEGA888 APK becomes unblocked, allowing you to complete the process without interference.

No. Once the MEGA888 APK installation is complete and all necessary permissions have been granted, you should immediately go back to your settings and re-enable the "Draw over other apps" permission for all the apps you turned off. This restores the full functionality of those apps.

The "Installation Blocked" message is typically caused by the "Screen Overlay Detected" security conflict. The fix is to temporarily disable the "Display over other apps" permission for any running third-party apps (e.g., blue light filters, floating chat heads). Once disabled, complete the MEGA888 installation, and then re-enable the permissions.

Yes. Rebooting your Android phone into Safe Mode temporarily disables all non-essential third-party applications, which stops all active screen overlays. In Safe Mode, you can successfully install the MEGA888 APK without any overlay interference, and then simply restart your phone normally to exit Safe Mode.

The location varies, but you can usually find it by navigating to Settings → Apps or Apps & Notifications → Special app access → Display over other apps (or Draw over other apps). On some devices (like Samsung), you may need to look under the Applications manager section.

A floating app (or overlay) blocks the installation button because of an Android security feature. The system prevents a user from granting sensitive runtime permissions or completing an APK install while a layer is drawn on the screen, as this layer could be used by a malicious app to obscure or hijack the user's intended touch input.

On a Samsung device, go to Settings → Apps → Tap the three-dot menu → Special Access → Apps that can appear on top. Identify and temporarily turn off the permission for apps like filter programs or chat applications, then install the MEGA888 APK. Remember to re-enable them afterward.
