phrase-choice

Could you tell me if it is correct and natural to say put your phone on standby mode? For example:

Don't turn off you phone. Just put it on standby mode.

Best Answer

Yes, but as noted by https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35267365/standby-and-sleep-modes-in-a-mobile-phone

Power-managment on mobile phones is quite sophisticated nowadays. Just "standby mode" and "sleep mode" are not enough to describe what is happening.

So if you are talking to a regular user then "standby" is fine. If you are talking to an engineer then there is a lot more detail.
