Why Does My iPhone Battery Die So Fast? 7. Background App Refresh

Certain apps on your iPhone are allowed to use your Wi-Fi or cellular data connection to download new content, even when you're not using them. You'll save a significant amount of battery life by limiting the number of apps that are allowed to use this feature - the feature is called Background App Refresh.

This is a really great tip. I had maybe 30 apps enabled, and was able to reduce that by about 90%. Thanks!

I can't tell you how impressed I am with this video series. As a technical writer, I value BREVITY in demonstrating a task or concept. These videos are brief, but to the point. Well done, sir!

When you turn the feature off does it mess with you getting notification for the particular app?

I have a question about this. Does background app refresh use cellular data to refresh these apps in the background when away from WIFI?
