It's not like that. It happens on certain apps
I can't help it unless the app developer fixes it
If you don't have to use that app, you'd better transfer to another one

A certain app runs in a screen overlay (whole or part of the screen) to induce user touch and prevent users from using the product function, which is a function that detects and pops up.
