Hello KDollyW!

How is the option greyed out? This is what you see to turn Background App Refresh off:

To see this page, go to: Settings > General > Background App Refresh. Now, at the very top of the page, click “Background App Refresh”, and see the menu I provided a screenshot of above.

I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!
