How to pause the game Fallout Shelter
Actually, pausing Fallout Shelter isn't straightforward like hitting a 'pause' button, because the game doesn't technically have one. However, you can kinda pause by opening up the Pip-Boy menu or any other menu within the game. While you're navigating through these menus, the game won't progress, so it's as close to pausing as you'll get. Just remember, time flies when you're managing a vault!

Just open a menu. Game stops. Easy.
Honestly, who even needs to pause Fallout Shelter? It's all about that continuous play, baby! Let those Dwellers work!
Surprisingly, Fallout Shelter doesn't have a traditional pause option. Your best bet? Just leave the game open without touching anything, and it will almost come to a halt. Not ideal, but hey, gives you time to grab a snack!
