Turn Background App Refresh on or off to fit your needs and save power
(iMore iPhone)

Control which apps can refresh in the background on your iPhone or iPad. One of the great things about your favorite iPhone or iPad is the fact that you can easily multitask with iOS. For example, when you switch between apps, you just want to pick up right where you left off, instead of having to load everything up again. But when you leave an app, it basically goes into a suspended state, which means that they aren`t actively in use or open, and therefore don`t take up system resources. However, that also means that your data may not be up-to-date until you go into that app again.
