Settings > General > Background App Refresh
There’s an option to toggle between Off / Wi-Fi / Wi-Fi & Mobile Data for all apps, and there’s a list of every app that uses background app refresh with a toggle button next to each one if you want finer-grained control.
How can that be made way easier?
- codeisawesome 7y agoSorry, "way easier" was perhaps the wrong term, I meant to say it should be easier to discover the fact that this impacts Privacy in a major way - and hence it should be in Settings -> Privacy along with Photos and everything else. I just feel like, iOS gives this great sense of control and so it's easy to become complacent without realising there is this backdoor of sorts to a lot of info (you can infer location based on IP collected from Background App Refresh for example).
