We all perform this iPhone maintenance ritual, but it's a mythical waste of time that's been around for years.
Apple users seem unanimously convinced that closing background apps is a good habit, but it’s more likely a waste of time. For too long, I’ve watched friends and family orchestrate a frenzy of up-swipes from their iPhone’s multitasking screen to cleanse themselves of countless open background apps. Perhaps this mythical ritual of iPhone maintenance will save battery, make your phone run faster, or stop social media companies from tracking you.
Contrary to popular belief, apps can still track you even if you force quit them. The key misunderstanding here is that force quitting an app is different from turning “Background App Refresh” off. Turning off “Background App Refresh” in your settings is the most surefire way to address all these problems. Origins of the Myth This myth seems to have originated on community forums in the days after the first iPhone’s release.
