What is a legitimate use of background app refresh? I just turned it off expecting not to receive notifications, but that’s not the case.

- sosborn 7y agoThe Major League Baseball app is a good example. It has a widget that can show scores. It can only do this if background refresh is on though so that it can keep the scores current when the app is not being actively used. For most apps and use cases, background refresh isn’t necessary because when you want see data in an app, you open the app and it can refresh it then. Personally, I have background refresh off for everything. It helps save battery too.
- ezequiel-garzon 7y agoThank you. I’m surprised it’s not off by default. It’s off now!
