Hi Jesscat1964,


We see you have a question about apps running in the background, and we're happy to help out. This link covers how to Switch apps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


If you're looking to disable Background App Refresh, here's how:


Use Background App Refresh
After you switch to a different app, some apps run for a short period of time before they're set to a suspended state. Apps that are in a suspended state aren’t actively in use, open, or taking up system resources. With Background App Refresh, suspended apps can check for updates and new content. 
If you want suspended apps to check for new content, go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and turn on Background App Refresh. If you quit an app from the app switcher, it might not be able to run or check for new content before you open it again.

Let us know if that answers your question. Take care.
