Greetings Pyotr Sargsyan,


You can learn how to get the most from your iPhone battery by following the guidance found here:


Batteries - Maximizing Performance - Apple


"Background Activity. This indicates that the battery was used by the app while it was in the background — that is, while you were using another app.


  • To improve battery life, you can turn off the feature that allows apps to refresh in the background. Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and select Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi & Cellular Data, or Off to turn off Background App Refresh entirely.
  • If the Mail app lists Background Activity, you can choose to fetch data manually or increase the fetch interval. Go to Settings > Accounts & Passwords > Fetch New Data."


Take care.
