Apps do not refresh in background.

Apps are not getting refreshed in background. People will send me messages in 3rd party apps or emails. Messages and emails don’t get received until I open the app. Resulting in no notification of these messages or emails.

Why apps not working in background when I remove them from Recent Apps? Hello I noticed that some apps such as Whatsapp and Snapchat not working in the background when I fully close them (Remove them from the recent apps menu), and I am sure that the option for letting the apps refresh in the background is set to true. I am having a problem with this because I am used to fully close apps when I am done using them, but like this, I will keep losing new messages until I open the app. Also, I noticed that if I shut down the iPhone and then start it again the problem is gone for a few hours. is this a bug or something?

I don't receive notifications from apps I stopped receiving notifications from some apps. They started working after I uninstalled and reinstalled apps, but I don't want to do that every time. And now notifications from the standard messaging application do not come, it cannot be deleted. I only see a red circle with the number of posts, but there is no banner at the top of the screen. Focusing is not enabled, settings have not been changed. How to solve this problem? It is very important.
