Greenify's hibernation

[dimm0k]

Does Greenify use "cmd appops set <package_name> RUN_IN_BACKGROUND ignore" to effectively hibernate apps as described here? https://www.xda-developers.com/freeze-app-background-processes-without-root-android-nougat/

Are apps listed as "Running in the background" in Greenify actually running as a service?

No, greenify cannot set RUN_IN_BACKGROUND because it's designed to work without root. Greenify works by killing the application when your screen has been off. Non-root mode clicks "Force close" but Root and Xposed mode will obviously be more efficient.
