About FakeStandby

FakeStandby turns off the phone’s screen while keeping apps running. The app is intended for situations where a foreground task should continue even when the display is no longer needed. The product description gives examples such as continuing audio playback, staying online in messaging apps, or leaving a game running while the screen is off. It specifically says that foreground jobs can continue during this state. This makes FakeStandby different from simply putting the phone into ordinary sleep behavior: the display is turned off while active app work continues. The app is aimed at Android users who want to keep a particular activity going without keeping the screen lit. The product information does not describe how it is activated, which apps or Android versions are compatible, or how it affects battery consumption in practice. It does not establish a guaranteed battery saving amount. Its stated function is screen-off operation while apps remain active.
