      iOS shows the setting for “Background App Refresh” for this app, why should I leave this on for this app and what specifically does it use this functionality for?

      I’m guessing they use this for maintaining the active login session?

        @calisartis Hi, it helps the app to receive and provide you with updated data, despite you not using the app. It is essential function for widgets for example.

          @Suty Thanks for getting back to me about this (for some reason I never received an email notification...)
