Twitter constantly running even with background app refresh turned off

I have iPhone 13 Pro, and my batter has been terrible. I check my health and it said 99%. Then I noticed Twitter app running 20+ hrs in background over the last 24 hrs. Then checked over the last 10 days and it was 229hrs. I have background app refresh tuned off for Twitter. How is it still running in the background ?

Salutations bwstone21, 


Let’s work through the basics to get us started and see if we can stop the background usage. Be sure to test after each step. We realize that testing may take a little time to notice if the usage has changed. 


  1. First, quit and relaunch the app. Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch
  2. Next, make sure it is up to date How to manually update apps on your Apple device
  3. Then, restart your iPhone Restart your iPhone
  4. Followed by making sure your iPhone is up to date Update your iPhone or iPad


Let us know if there are any changes. 




Thanks.

Hi and thanks for replying. I had already tried all those things before that’s why I decided to try asking. I have found the same thing happening before with other apps and the only thing that has worked is deleting app. I found another app that I had never opened after downloading and it had ran 10 hrs in background. So I have encountered at least 4 different apps that all had been running in background even though it was turned off for that app. Closing the app didn’t work. It only came to my attention because I would find my phone getting really hot for no reason. Then I noticed it in the and deleted those apps. I didn’t want to delete Twitter but I can have it running 24/7 in background.
