My iPhone 13 uses a lot of battery in the background. For example: I’ve been on whatsapp for 16 minutes but the background activity for whatsapp today is 17 minutes. I’ve got ‘refresh in background’ disabled already but it’s not helping. I have the same issue with snapchat, instagram, facebook and the app store. How can I stop this background activity?
