Turn Off Background App Refresh
Background App Refresh is a pretty useful iPhone tool. This feature lets some of your apps run in the background so they can get updates as soon as they happen.
This way, you’ll get notifications from social media almost instantly. The downside? You might experience some lag on your iPhone. Moreover, it might also reduce your battery life. Needless to say, you’re better off without it.
Here’s how to turn off Background App Refresh:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and select General.
- Go to Background App Refresh.
From here, you can either tap on Background App Refresh and turn it off completely, or you can disable Background App Refresh for any specific apps where you know you don’t need it.
Either option is fine, but completely disabling Background App Refresh will be the best option if your iPhone is too slow or the battery doesn’t last as long.
