I noticed that an app (OnSong) had a background activity of 4.4 hours (when I only used it for like 10 mins). My battery was horrible and I've noticed that it has been doing this recently (YouTube as well). I decided to swipe the apps away and do a hard reset (held Home + Power button until restart and Apple logo appears). I've noticed much better battery life today.
From what I remember, Background App Refresh shouldn't really effect battery life, and you should also not have to worry about ending apps. However, I've noticed the opposite recently. Does anyone else have experience or insight on this? I am on 10.1.1, iPhone SE with the TSMC chip (if that matters).
