google, samsung, iphone: can we get an app freezer built into the operating system? maybe make it so that we could freeze apps for 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, etc...and then the apps would automatically unfreeze themselves and run normally? good for apps that you're supposed to run 24/7, but sometimes just need a break.

Draft – freezing apps should not require root.

At least let everyone freeze an app for 2, 4, or 8 hours at a time or something like that.

There are apps on the app store that have the abilities and then there's that shizuku manager which supposedly helps people without root. I'm not against learning that a bit, but, just trying to understand it all

draft - in iOS 18 (and android), does locking an app freeze it as well? like, apps that do tracking and stuff like that, that we have to have running most of the time, but sometimes we as humans deserve a break from big brother, 1984, orwell etc...

so when i say freeze apps, basically, "temporarily disable all permissions the app is usually given". so for example an app with excessive app permissions that we are forced to have installed and be running 24/7, i think as human beings, we kind of deserve a few hours sometimes where its *not running*.

so an apps with excessive permissions like

location - allowed all the time

physical activity - the ability to detect phone movement etc

phone access - apps that track phone use, making / taking calls etc

we as human beings, while sometimes being forced to install these apps on our phone by our superiors and what not, should still have a function in the phone OS to freeze the apps legitimately for 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours, etc, these kinds of apps are required to "check in" with the server at least once ever 10 to 14 days, so having a "day off" should be normal once every couple / few days or so...i'm not saying to disable it, just to legitimately give us the ability to legitimately freeze these types of apps so we can "log off" from them from time to time. we're human. we deserve it.

draft - yaknow what i'd like in iOS and android? so, the locking apps is cool. but...to take things a step further, how about an option to freeze apps? apps that do a lot of tracking, we live in this world now, and sometimes, we, as human beings deserve a break from time to time. the issue is, the apps themselves aren't going to offer the break. so it's kinda up to the operating system to offer that ability. and maybe one could even setup a schedule for the freezing...so for example, apps that you have to kinda have running most of the time, but sometimes you want a break, you could long press the icon and choose "freeze for 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours...etc" or something like that.
