# Set Up Standby Mode for the Field Service Mobile App

When mobile workers are using the Field Service Mobile app, they can reduce distractions and stay focused by using Standby mode in the app.

With the Standby mode feature, mobile workers can pause notifications, data syncs, and location sharing to save battery when standby not actively being used. When mobile workers exit Standby mode, they can go back to full functionality as soon as they open the app again. Workers can continue where they left off, without needing to download records.

Enable standby mode on the Field Service settings page or on your profile on the Field Service Mobile app.
