Background activity

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