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.

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?
It's not normal for Apple owned apps, but as I've said, for 3rd party apps, while they shouldn't, that doesn't guarantee they won't.
I think you're going to drive yourself crazy micromanaging your battery on your iPhone. If it will give you peace of mind, force close apps you're not using often and go enjoy your day. If you're thinking or hoping you can stop battery health decline. You can't. Battery health will decline no matter what you do. When the day comes that the health of your battery declines to 80% or less, which it will if you own the phone long enough, you pay Apple to replace the battery.
Until then, follow the advice in this link --> Batteries - Maximizing Performance - Apple
If background refresh is disabled, apps can’t force a connection to their home servers. However, push notifications can be enabled server side and apps will continue to receive notifications/updates pushed from the server.

Every night all night? i usually need to charge earlier and it won't last me 24 hours.
Yes, all night, EVERY night. And if you need to charge up during the day, that's fine. You can charge your iPhone as often as needed.

guys idk what's wrong. i let 4 apps in the background, had 36% battery, closed my screen for like 2 mins and when I came back after 2 mins my battery was at 34%. It only happens when i have background apps open. I had tiktok insta messenger and Google
That has nothing to do with not closing the apps. What you need to do is go to Settings>General>Background App Refresh and either turn it off universally or at least turn it off for the apps that seem to be problematic.
Are you going to continue to post in all 5 threads you started on the same topic?
Will my battery last more when i close them or when I don't close them?
Wait so if i open instagram now and then close it, the next time I'll open it it will use more battery to open than the last time i opened it?
Wow i see, thank you.
Update: it just happened again, closed my phone screen for 5 mins with 33% and when i came back it had 30%. No way that's normal. Even if i used the phone it wouldn't drain 3% in like 5 mins.
What is the Maximum Capacity of your battery? Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging
How many Cycles on the battery?

You’re very welcome!
100%. and 101 charge circles. my phone is only 5 months old
I still need help
Yes i agree but the issue still happens
It says no service options available for my location. Unfortunately I'm outside of usa. Can i chat with apple somehow?
What do you mean by having apps running in the background? When I don't use them they're supposed to be frozen, right? Plus my background app refresh is off.
Is it ideal to close background apps on iPhone to avoid battery drain?
