Is the App Supposed to Be Actively Running in the Background?

Yes. Control+ is designed to run actively in the background to provide continuous protection and monitoring.

Real-time monitoring: To scan for data exposure, track calls, and protect your personal information, the app needs to operate continuously.
Automatic updates: Running in the background ensures removal requests, spam call blocking, and other protections are always up to date.
Notifications: You will receive alerts and updates, such as when suspicious calls are blocked or data is removed, only if the app is running.

The app is optimized to minimize battery and resource usage, so running in the background should not significantly impact your device.
