Can I Switch Apps While Control+ Is Searching for Data Breaches?

Many users wonder whether using other apps will interfere with ongoing security scans. Here’s what you need to know.

You Can Switch Apps Safely

Good news — you can absolutely switch to another app while Control+ is searching for data breaches. The scan runs in the background, so it won’t stop just because you’re using a different app.

Your protection remains active, and the process continues smoothly even when Control+ is not in the foreground.

Tips for Best Results

• Keep Control+ running in the background: This ensures all checks can complete without interruption.
• Check progress anytime: You can open the app to review the scan status or pause temporarily if needed.

Stay Protected Effortlessly

Switching apps won’t affect your security — Control+ continues monitoring for potential threats, keeping your accounts safe while you go about your day.
