Leaving apps in background isn't harmful for battery performance. Based on my experience closing and opening consumes more battery, so I always leave frequently used apps in the background. Close only those which very rarely opened.


For these frequently used apps I always keep Background App Refresh as disabled


Settings > General > Background App Refresh and turn OFF Background App Refresh
