Let’s start with downloading and installing DashDow app in your Android mobile.

This guide was so helpful. Read all your post from top to bottom that’s a great way to do this but I have a question how can I do the same with iPhone ?
iOS architecture won’t allow screen overlays. So, it is not possible to show chat heads on iPhone unless you jailbroke it and try some Cydia tweaks.
