Do you have any Content & Privacy Restrictions enabled on your device?

Try go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, see if Background App Activities is marked as 'Allow'.

Please note that if Low Power Mode is activated, you can neither activate nor deactivate apps in Background App Refresh.

Solve it by disabling Low Power Mode, go to: Settings > Battery. Disable Low Power Mode.

Actually the opposite is true for my phone as turning LPM on is the only way I can turn off the Background Apps Refresh! I’ve tried powering down and that doesn’t change it either.

Thanks tho!
