When I have my phone charging I notice that the background activity for iMessage and Photos goes up. For example it will say 19m background and 10m background for iMessage. This makes the screen off time go up as well. When it’s charging is the only time I see the time for it go up. What can I do to stop this issue? I attached a screenshot of what I’m seeing.
Did you just setup this iPhone? Do you use iCloud for Messages and Photos? It appears that the background activity for Messages and Photos is for syncing with iCloud. The iCloud syncing process generally happens when the iPhone is locked and connected to Power. Once the synching process is completed then you should see very little activity from that point on in the background.

Eventually the synching process with iCloud will complete. Let it go through the process. Synching will be done when connected to power and a Wi-Fi Network.

All your data should be synch in between all your devices that are signed in to the same Apple ID. Ensure that a good, solid Wi-Fi connection is available to all your devices for the process to complete efficiently.

Exactly. That is the message that confirms that background iCloud syncing process is still in progress.

yes so this is a new phone I got about a week ago and usually I charge it once a day and so far I’ve only seen it happen about 3 times max so far.
Sounds good. This maybe explains why I also see a message that pops up at the bottom of the iMessage page which says “Uploading to iCloud paused”
i also have my older phone which is synced together for right now and I notice it’s doing it on that one too.
