How to pause Fallout Shelter on Android
Pausing Fallout Shelter on Android isn't as straightforward as hitting a pause button, cause, surprise, there isn't one! Your best bet is to simply exit the game or switch to another app. Fallout Shelter doesn't run in real-time when it's not open, so your Vault will be safe and sound, just like you left it.

Actually, you can't really 'pause' Fallout Shelter in the traditional sense. The game is designed to continue certain processes (like resource generation) even when you're not actively playing. Just make sure your dwellers are set up for success before you close the app!
No need to pause! Just exit the game. Your vault takes care of itself. Been doing it since day 1, and my vault's still thriving.
