Shoule i close apps in the background by swiping? I've read that you waste more battery when you close them and it's better to not close them ubless they're unresponsive but i feel like my battery drains faster if i don't close them. Btw i have background app refresh off.

You should not close apps in the background. This does not help your iPhone’s performance or battery life. In fact, it makes it worse because when you reopen an app, it has to reload everything instead of returning to its original state. Your apps are also idle in the App Switcher, until you decide to reopen them, so they have no effect to your iPhone there. The only time you should close an app from the background is if it is not performing as expected.
Senior member Lawrence Finch has written a very informative User Tip regarding this, which I recommend you read:
Do not close iPhone and iPad 'background'… - Apple Community
Oh okay. Btw do you know if it's normal for an app to have background activity time in battery metrics while background refresh is off?
Are you going to continue to post in all 5 threads you started on the same topic?

Yah, I posted in 3 or 4 of them too. Same answers, just different faces. 😃

Is it ideal to close background apps on iPhone to avoid battery drain?
