Do you know if disabling it affects messaging apps like WhatsApp?
- codeisawesome 7y agoI haven't seen any problems. I get my notifications just fine. I think APNS (and the related OS services) operate separately from Background App Refresh? Maybe WhatsApp can use it for some sort of good purpose, but it's not core to my experience so no need to take the risk :D
- pdimitar 7y agoNever in any messaging apps that I had. Notifications and the ability to wake your device and do work on the background are separate services and they don't affect each other. You will not miss any notifications if you disable Background App Refresh.
