How To Disable Android And iOS Apps From Running In The Background?

To disable apps from running in the background on both Android and iOS platforms, follow these steps:

Android:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Find and tap on Battery (or similar section name depending on your Android version).
3. Locate Adaptive Battery and enable it if it's not already active. This helps manage background app behavior.
4. For individual apps, go to Apps (or Manage Applications), find the app you want to restrict, and tap on it.
5. Choose Battery or Power Management options, and look for Allow background activity or a similar setting. Disable this option for the selected app.

iOS:

1. Navigate to the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and select General.
3. Tap on Background App Refresh.
4. Choose between three options:
   • Off: Completely disables Background App Refresh for all apps.
   • Wi-Fi: Enables Background App Refresh only when connected to Wi-Fi.
   • Wi-Fi & Cellular Data: Enables Background App Refresh regardless of connection type.
5. To customize settings for individual apps, tap on Background App Refresh and enable or disable the toggle for each app as needed.

Please note that disabling background app activity may affect the functionality of certain apps and their ability to provide real-time updates or notifications. Always consider the importance of each app's background activity before disabling it.
