Does Fallout Shelter pause when you exit?
Yep, Fallout Shelter totally pauses when you exit the game. So, don't worry about leaving your Dwellers unattended for a bit—they won't get into any trouble while you're gone. It’s like they freeze in time waiting for you to come back and take charge again!

Can confirm, Fallout Shelter pauses when you exit. I've left my vault unattended for days, and everything was exactly how I left it when I returned. Super helpful for managing real-life stuff without worrying about your game progress!
Hot take: Fallout Shelter pausing when you exit is actually a bit of a bummer. Takes away some of the 'real-time' thrill, IMO.
