App Online Status
The App offline button in your app may not work the way you expect it to. Instead of turning off all app functions, it simply deactivates content from being refreshed and creates a pop-up that will be shown on the News Feed. This pop-up usually appears almost immediately after you select the App offline button.
This feature works for both dev and container apps and does not affect the app's search ability in the container app, App Store, or Google Play. All previous content in the app is still viewable, but there will be a pop-up indicating that the app is offline.
Please note that the App offline feature is not designed to turn off all app functions or prevent you from accessing previous content. Rather, it is intended to provide a way to temporarily disable content updates in the app while still allowing you to access existing content.
