Background App Refresh allows apps to check for new content even when you aren't using them. While useful, it drains battery and data.
Steps to Manage Refresh Settings
- Open Settings.
- Tap General.
- Tap Background App Refresh.
Configuration Options
- Off: Best for maximum battery saving. Apps update only when opened.
- Wi-Fi: Apps update in background only when connected to Wi-Fi (saves cellular data).
- Wi-Fi & Cellular Data: Apps update anytime (uses most power and data).
🤔 Protip:
You can also keep the main setting ON and toggle off individual switches for specific apps (like Facebook or Instagram) in the list below.
