The ability to temporarily halt the display of information on an Android device’s screen, maintaining a static image of the current content, is a functionality that proves valuable in various scenarios. For example, one might want to preserve a QR code displayed on-screen for easy scanning without the risk of the code disappearing due to screen timeout or accidental interaction.
This capability presents several advantages. It facilitates easier sharing of information by allowing a static visual reference. It also enables more convenient referencing of on-screen data during tasks requiring external input or consultation. Historically, workarounds involving screenshots and image viewers were necessary to achieve this effect; however, dedicated screen-freezing solutions offer a more streamlined approach.
