I have this turned off for all my apps except BeWeather but Facebook always shows it as active.

Why is this and how can I stop it.

Thanks much :)

Hi Charlyee,

I don't know if this problems was resolved or not but I found the same issue posted in this link. http://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/299rqm/facebook_works_in_the_background_even_with/

One thing that keeps coming up when I was looking for a fix for you here, is whether the person has location enabled for the Facebook App. If you have that on, try tuning it off as I don't think it is needed by that app. Hope this gets fixed for you soon.

Hi Eileen, thanks very much for your help. I don't have Location Enabled. What is weird is I have the exact same settings on my phone and iPad, and it's only the phone that this happens on.

Ok my problem appears to be fixed, keeping my fingers crossed.

I am not exactly sure what fixed it since I tried many different things but it was related to "find nearby friends" option, which I had used once and turned it off.

I deleted the location history as well.

Thanks guys for your help.

Do you stay signed into Facebook or do you logout? I always logout of Facebook just to make sure they aren't tracking me. I know on my iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 I have all "Background Refresh" turned off but but under the Facebook selection in "Setting" it shows that it is enabled BUT is greyed out.

I do stay logged in but will try logging out. My problem has come back, so definitely worth trying.

Thanks :)
