Q: iOS 10 keeps turning Background Refresh on for ALL apps
I only have Background Refresh set for 10% of my iPhone apps. This morning marks the third time iOS 10 has turned on Background Refresh for all my apps.
When this last happened (2 days ago), I was able to resolve it by turning Background Refresh off and restarting my phone. Unfortunately, not working this time. I've toggled Background Refresh on & off a dozen times, but it looks like I'm going to have manually set 90% of my apps to "Off" again.
Any insight?
iPhone 6s, iOS 10, null

I'm seeing this exact same problem. I'm not sure what's causing it, but I did just notice it happen after I chose to update some apps. Maybe when an update turns on background refresh for one app, this bug is leading it to get turned on for all the others as well? I reported it as a bug on the Apple feedback form: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
