## FAQ
- By clicking on the "i"-Icon, you can see the time of the last successful background update check.
- Please reopen FFUpdater after moving it to the internal/external storage.
- When the 'power save mode' is activated, FFUpdater's behavior changes. If the mode is on for less than 24
hours, FFUpdater will not perform any background update checks. However, if it remains on for longer,
FFUpdater will check for updates in the background, but it will not download them in the background.
