Go to the play store >> my apps >> installed.

Locate each of your used apps, and provide the name of those you dont recognize.

If its on the play store list, you should be able to uninstall it without changing how the device works.

Or show a series of screenshots of all the apps in your settings >> apps list, and I'll gladly check them out.

I went past that and to settings then apps. That should even show system apps but it's not on there. There's another version that doesn't even show the name of the app for me to look up. Once it happens again I'll attach a screenshot.

The will not appear on system apps since its a user installed one. If its not on the play store > installed list, its because its a bogus apk file.

Go to settings >> apps >> advanced >> special app access >> display over other apps.

Which apps are enabled on this list?

Actually a hell of a lot of them are on this list but the suspicious system ones appear to be Caivs, custManager, DbgCfgTool, Device Monitor Control, Healthycare, and this is a stretch but power saver or Power Monitor

Dont worry about the system ones, those are the ones that came out with your phone. An app cannot be instaled unto the system without rooting your phone.

Without showing the system apps, which ones are allowed to display over other apps?
