Yes, Flud is designed to continue seeding (and downloading) in the background even after your screen turns off.
However, modern Android battery optimization features can sometimes interfere and stop the app from running in the background after a while.
To ensure Flud continues seeding reliably, you generally need to check two main areas:
1. Flud App Settings
Look for an option within Flud's own settings, often in a section like Power Management or Interface, and make sure "Keep CPU Awake" and/or "Keep running in background" (or similar phrases) are enabled.
2. Android System Settings
The most common reason for a background app to stop is the Android operating system trying to save battery. You should ensure Flud is exempted from battery optimizations:
Go to Settings on your Android tablet.
Search for "Battery" or "Battery Optimization" (or look under "Apps" -> "Flud" -> "Battery").
Find the Flud app in the list.
Set its battery usage to "Unrestricted" or "Do not optimize."
Also, check for any "Deep sleep" or "Sleeping apps" lists and make sure Flud is not included there.
By enabling the necessary settings in both the Flud app and the Android system, you maximize the chance that your tablet will keep seeding even with the screen off.
