iPhone and iPad Second Floor Update
Today we stop talking about applications and we are going to talk about the background refresh and if we really need them or they are just for drain all the battery of our devices.
With the advent of background updates, it is true that opening and closing apps is much faster. That is, everything loads much faster and therefore the waiting time was much less. But, like almost everything, it has a good part and a bad part. The good one we have already discussed and the bad one is that our battery consumes much faster.
We are sure that many users have this option activated and are really unaware of its function. We explain what consequences it has on our devices.
What is iPhone background refresh for?:
Background updates is an option that Apple gives us so that all our applications are always updated. In this way when we access them, they will be loaded and ready to be used. In this way we save having to wait that short period of time, for it to start and synchronize.
Let's say this is the function of this option. Always be updated to be used at any time. Obviously, seen in this way, one can think that it is a really interesting option and that it will provide us with greater agility when carrying out our daily tasks with the device. And it's really true, it makes everything ready to use.
Is it worth having background updates on?:
From our point of view, we have to say no. We do not see that it is a function with which we cannot get by, that is, if we have to wait one more second for our applications to load, we can do it perfectly. But this is not the main reason why we do not recommend having this function activated.
Settings / General / Background refresh
The main reason has to do with our battery, and it is that having this function activated makes our iPhone or iPad constantly active, so it is more than likely that we will see a reduction in the duration of our battery . In fact, it's one of the tips to save iPhone battery that we usually give.
Therefore, if what you want is to have greater autonomy in your devices, we must undoubtedly deactivate this functionIf, on the other hand, you are comfortable with this option activated and you are not concerned about the excess consumption, we recommend leaving it as it is. By default, this option is activated, so you don't have to touch anything at all.
You also have the option to activate only the apps that you want to have always updated at the moment. That is up to everyone's taste.
If it doesn't allow you to disable or enable the “Background Refresh” option, you probably have “Low Power Mode” (yellow battery icon) enabled. Turn it off to be able to turn the option on and off.
And you, what do you think of the background update? . We await your answers.
