I was trying to save battery life and turned off all Background App Refresh options by sliding the green button. Now, I can't use my workout apps with GPS. I went to settings>General>Background App Refresh, but it won't give me the option of sliding the main button to on. All apps appear light grey. What do I do now?
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.1
I had to comment on this seeing as I tried everything to fix it and nothing worked. what worked for me was going to settings > battery > and deselecting low power mode. Then you can go back and the background refresh button becomes clickable..
Hope this helps ^_^
