yes.
Why is the app in question the only one in background app refresh that isn’t on my Home Screen or Library or something I downloaded or can delete.
Because it isn’t an app, it is an iOS service used by apps. And if you could delete it no browsers and many apps on your phone would no longer work, because all browsers (not just safari) and any app that displays data from a website use it to access websites. There are many apps you can’t delete, such as Settings, FindMy, App Store, and many more. This is just another one that you can’t delete.

Thank you, I saw the same thing and was extremely paranoid. Now I know

So now there are two users with this question out of 2 billion users.
Thank you!
Well, there are at least four.
You are not alone. Why is this persisting with apple iOS 16.1
That did not resolve for me and I have the same issue.
This is from reddit, could we get an official apple guidance?
There is now 5.
@GRF199 I don't think your precautions are crazy at all. I do similar things. Unfortunately, I suspect all the precautions in the world can never make us secure.
Sort of makes sense.
They could save the confusion by not having it in background app refresh seeing it isn’t a app.
