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

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: Open the app and go to the Home screen to review the current scan status — you'll see live updates on potential data exposures and brokers being processed.

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