Unfortunately, disabling Background Refresh entirely or even just specifically for apps like Facebook and Sonos does not stop them from consuming CPU in the background. When we stumbled onto this about Deliveries, I thought maybe I found a solution for the apps that have real issues: those that chew up battery life in the background.
But Some Apps Just Keep Running … For A While (and Longer if They Could!) If you do this then iOS will not let the app run in the background until you manually open the app again. From their FAQ entry answering “Why am I not receiving any notifications?” they say:ĭon’t force the app to close by swiping up on the app when the multitasking view is open. This app behaves quite well, but even it is affected by a force quit.
If you force quit one of these apps, though, it generally will not get permission to re-launch, and that may be your intended outcome.įor a good example of this, check out the (stellar) Deliveries app. Savvy iOS users know that you can go into Settings > General > Background App Refresh and choose which apps get permission to properly re-launch at times. Background Refresh Is Only a Small Part of It

Some apps, however, do not behave well in this regard, and we’ve researched this quite a bit for several discussions on Mac Geek Gab (shameless plug: that’s the tech support podcast we’ve been doing for 12 years where we answer people’s questions and share tips). He quotes an email from Apple’s Craig Federighi along with five pieces from developers who support his premise, and all five of those developers are folks who make apps that behave quite well within the confines of iOS. Gruber is 100% correct that this is true about iOS and most apps. His advice is clear: iOS is so good at managing this that you really never need to worry about it. Apps in the background are effectively “frozen”, severely limiting what they can do in the background and freeing up the RAM they were using. The iOS system is designed so that none of the above justifications for force quitting are true.
