The Web app refresh lets you stop web tabs from constantly refreshing in background, e.g. weather web page. See https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/xdgo7k/ios16_background_app_refresh_what_is_this_web_app/
You probably left a web page open that automatically updates. You can try it find it, or just Clear History & Website Data in Settings/Safari.
I am having the same exact issue and just updated yesterday.
Thank you, I saw the same thing and was extremely paranoid. Now I know
did you find answer?

So now there are two users with this question out of 2 billion users.
Thank you!
Well, there are at least four.
That did not resolve for me and I have the same issue.
This is from reddit, could we get an official apple guidance?

You are not alone. Why is this persisting with apple iOS 16.1
Because you have auto-updating web pages in Safari.

Not in this user-to-user forum. To discuss it with Apple click Get Support at the top of this page.
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.
The capability to update web pages in background is a built-in feature of iOS. If you turn off the switch for it you disable it.
Sort of makes sense.
They could save the confusion by not having it in background app refresh seeing it isn’t a app.
