1. Swipe your phone screen to the right to reveal the menu, select Settings.
2. Tap the `Enable background media playback` toggle on the right hand side, this will change the status of that option from grey to green.

## How do I stop the LBRY service from running in the background? {#stoplbryservice}
You might have noticed the LBRY icon in your notifications with the status, `LBRY service is running in the background`. We keep the app open in the background to stay up-to-date with the blockchain, which helps the app load contents faster as it arrives. In the future, you'll be able to support the LBRY network and earn hosting rewards, but for now, the hosting features are disabled.

However, if you do not want the LBRY service to be running in the background, you can disable this in the settings page by tapping `Keep the daemon background service running after closing the app` - this will change the status of that option from green to grey. Now close the LBRY app by clicking back multiple times or swipe the app to close - the notification icon should disappear.
