Manage Background App Refresh

Your iPhone’s Background App Refresh feature is a useful tool that lets your apps run in the background. That way, everything is updated with the latest information and ready to go as soon as you open an app again.

Unfortunately, letting all your apps make use of Background App Refresh might cause your iPhone to run slower than usual. Not only that, but it can also affect battery life. So it’s best to manage this feature so that only a few apps can use Background App Refresh. Here’s how:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and tap on General.
3. Select Background App Refresh.
4. Scroll down and disable Background App Refresh for any app where you don’t need it. You can also toggle Background App Refresh off at the top of your screen to disable it completely.
