Do I just let Fallout Shelter run all the time?
Honestly, it's not necessary. The game's designed to keep things moving a bit even when you're not looking. So, chill, live your life, and let your dwellers live theirs. Just pop in once in a while to collect resources and sort any issues.

Just let it run and enjoy the caps rolling in! Or, you know, don't. The game pretty much takes care of itself with minimal babysitting required. It's all about balance.
Leaving Fallout Shelter on 24/7 is a waste of your device's battery life. The game does a fine job progressing without constant supervision. Check in a few times a day, and you'll be golden.
Nope, you don't have to leave Fallout Shelter running all the time. The game does have some offline progression mechanics. Your vault dwellers will continue to produce resources like food, water, and power for a bit while you're away, but these resources stop increasing after a certain point. It means you can take a break without worrying about coming back to chaos every time. Just make sure to check in occasionally to manage your resources and keep your dwellers happy!
