# MINIMISE\_APP

The **MINIMISE\_APP** command sends the currently active app to the background.

This command is often used in multi-app workflows where the tester needs to temporarily pause the current app and resume activity in another application.

**Syntax:**  MINIMISE\_APP

**When to use:**

1. Switching between apps during a single test flow
2. Pausing the current app to interact with a payment app, map app, or verification app
3. Testing resume behavior after interruptions (calls, notifications, system overlays)
4. Ensuring the app regains state correctly when brought back to the foreground
