No apps in Background App Refresh

Hi everybody,
I am using iphone 5s and ios 8.1
My apps (endomondo and gipis) stopped working correctly because they needed to be turn on in the Background App Refresh but there are no such apps there.
I cannot use my apps =(
Could you help with this issue?
Thank in advance.
Pavel

I have this issue as well for every running app I've tried (i.e. Endomondo, MapMyRun, RunKeeper) since the iOS 8 update. I've filed support tickets for both Endomondo and MapMyRun after @AppleSupport told me to contact the app developers directly. As of ~10 days ago, both support teams told me they're aware of the issue and working toward resolution. Nothing since then.

  • How often do Background App Refreshes occur in iOS 7?

    In iOS 7, some apps can now update their data even when the app is not open. This feature is called "Background App Refresh". How often does each app update their content using this method? Is it up to the app to determine the frequency, or does iOS 7 limit them?

    Why does there need to be a limit imposed?  Perhaps it'd be appropriate for some app to update once a minute.
    I can just imagine the havoc that would be caused if Apple limited turn-by-turn navigation apps to a 15-min update window, just as an example.

  • Will closing an app with background refresh on continue to update even though it's killed?

    With background app refresh on for gps apps, do they continue to draw power and location and track even if i close the App?
    Thanks

    Backround refresh will not draw extra power for a GPS app if you close it and kill it in multi task.

  • Background app refresh not working mail app

    I have an Iphone 4 with the latest IOS7. Background app refresh is on but it's not working, at least for Mail and Mailbox app. I already tried reseting all settings and restarting.
    This is what I do to test if it's working.
    1) I send myself a test email
    2) I wait to see if I get the badge count update (I get it in mailbox but I dont get it in Mail app)
    3) I put the phone in airplane mode
    4) I open the apps to see If the test email was download while I was on wifi and it's not there.
    Also it's very strange that my mail app badge count doesn't get updated...

    So here is what I ended up doing.
    I did a fresh restore and logged into my icloud. I waited for all my calendars, contacts, reminders, ect. to sync and turned off icloud but selected the option to keep that data on my phone. Then I created a new icloud account and waited for the new data to sync to my new icloud. After that I performed another fresh restore but this time I logged into my new icloud. I downloaded "Newsify" again and waited for it to do the background app refresh and it did :). It turns out that it stopped doing it and it was the app the whole time of just buggy ios 7 so I restored from the backup I did before all of this and end of sotrie.

  • "Background App Refresh" does not refresh

    I have trouble with my Podcasts app (it crashes when I open it) and I noticed the following bug:
    If I go in "Setting > Podcasts", there is the option "Background App Refresh" switched on, and I can switch it off.
    I switch it off.
    I go back to setting and then again to "Setting > Podcasts", and the option "Background App Refresh" is still on!
    Perhaps it is related to the fact that this app is not working anymore?
    iPhone 5s
    iOS 8.2
    Podcasts 2.2 (740)

    I thought the problem was solved after letting it update all the apps and sit for a while on a wifi network where I have unlimited data...  Unfortunately when I tethered today it sucked down 40 megs with zero apps open.   I turned off the wifi hotspot before it used more data.  
    What is it downloading????   This is really frustrating.  I wish I could put ios 6 on this ipad. 

  • Apps didnt appear in Background App Refresh

    Hi all,
    I'm using Iphone 5, after updated to ios 8 and later, my apps (nike running & endomondo) didnt appear in the Background App Refresh list. So that i cannot use Nike Running & Endomondo since the apps keep asking me to enable them in Background App Refresh.
    Is anyone having same issue here? Need solution on this or is it because of ios 8?
    Thanks

  • How to add application in Background app refresh list

    Hello, how can I add another application (for example Skype) in the list of Background app refresh? I have just 5 applications there. Is it even possible to add some more in this list? Thank You in advance for Your reply.

    I don't think you can. I believe apps have to be written to take advantage of background app refresh. Your best bet would be to contact the developer.

  • How does Background App Refresh work (in detail)?

    Hi @ all,
    I am quite confused and uncertain of how the above mentioned feature works in iOS 7.1.
    For some apps, e.g. Geonfency, I understand this functionality has to be enabled to ensure proper GPS tracking in the background (meaning the app is not open and therefore not in the app switcher).
    But what about Google Maps, why does this app need background refreshing? Does it mean Google is constantly tracking my location?
    What does the refresh do and allow and what doesn't it?
    Thanks

    Would be great to hear from Apple if this is true about quitting apps using more battery power due to using RAM when opening again???
    The majority of people I speak to (include Apple reps in store) always say close all your apps at least once a week.
    That's for a different reason. Not for battery life, but to allow iOS to perform "garbage collection" on RAM. As time goes on the RAM gets fragmented, with lots of small allocations. iOS can deal with that by moving apps around to open larger memory segments for new apps, but doing that slows down the phone.

  • Background App Refresh updating when turned off

    This has got to be wrong.
    I just noticed that I had several app being refreshed.   I went into general and checked my setting and it was turned "off".   Check the iTunes update list and sure enough I had 4 apps that were updated.
    It this just me????????  

    Support cleared up my confusion.   There is a setting for background app refresh and a setting under iTunes & App Store.   I needed to turn off the automatic downloads for updates in the iTunes & App Store settings.

  • Background app refresh disabled

    Hello all,
    I love running, and therefore I've used Nike+ running for many years now. Currently I use an iPhone 5s, with iOs 8.1 When starting the app, the message "Background App Refresh Disabled, Open settings and enable Background App Refresh so that we can track your runs in the background". However, when I look this up in settings there is no Nike+ in that list to activate.So, At this moment, I'm no longer able to use this app.
    What's wrong? How come that my girlfriend (iPhone 5C, iOs 8.1) doesn't have this problem?
    I've tried:
    - Reinstalling the app
    - Downloading the app on my phone with my girlfriends Apple ID
    Anyone out there with a possible solution?
    Bye

    Thought I'd reply to this seen as no one else has, I am also experiencing very similar problems with my 4s and by the looks of it is it's across all handsets. I've never had any battery issues with my iPhone even 7.0.6 was fine, but since updating to 7.1 the battery is ticking down very fast. I fully charged in the morning and left it in my locker all day at work when I got my hands on it it's gone down to 52% just on its own!!
    I really hope they sort this out fast the irony is 7.1 was supposed to help battery life!

  • Background App Refresh

    Just activated a brand new iPhone6 and sync'd with previous backup on iCloud.
    In General settings, Background App Refresh is turned off and setting is greyed out. Some individual apps have it turned on but is also greyed out so it cannot be changed.
    Am trying to get it turned back on globaly so I can control which apps I want to auto refresh.

    Hi there jho2me,
    It looks like the Restriction settings in iOS can prevent changes to the Background App Refresh. You may ywant to take a look at these settings on your device. The article below has more information.

  • IOS 8.0.2 Background App Refresh

    I received an iPhone 6 Plus replacement from Apple and restored it from a backup (via iTunes). Everything worked as it should be, but after two days of using the new iPhone I recognised that automatic app updates as well as Background App Refresh are not working anymore.
    E.g.:
    Apps won't receive automatic updates (Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Updates > on)
    Overcast: new episodes no longer get automatically downloaded to my device (Settings > General > Background App Refresh > on)
    What I did so far:
    I already deleted and reinstalled affected apps (like Overcast)
    I changed the settings > turned off and on (background updates etc.); restarted the phone...
    Is this a known iOS 8.0.2 issue or do I really have to restore my iPhone again (what I definitely don't want to do)?
    Any help is very much appreciated!

    The things that I have tried:
    - Remove exchange account, restart phone, create new exchange account, restart again, open app. Nothing.
    - Created a Gmail account instead of an exchange account (which didn't work previously, due to me not seeing the shared calendar), didn't work.

  • Background app refresh doesn't work at all

    im on ios 8.1.2 with an iPhone 6 plus. My problem is that any app I have running in the background (best buy, groupon, Safari, etc) all re-load whenever I switch apps. i have background app refresh turned on so that everything stays active. It's really frustrating to be browsing a store website/app, switch to another app like my messages or mail, then switch back to the app/safari and it reloads as if I just opened the app. It NeVER remembers what I'm doing. I only keep a couple things open in the background too. ive tried turning the background app refresh on and off but nothing works. Basically, I can't multitask whatsoever with my iPhone and it's ******* me off. Anyone have this issue?

    Hi
    I just checked - I was intrigued by your post because I have background app refresh off - and my safari etc maintain the website / pages where I am at if I switch. So I was wondering if indeed Background App Refresh has anything to do with your issue - sorry I know I am not helping to solve it - but wondered if there was something else going on.

  • Why are some apps missing from 'background app refresh'?

    I noticed Runkeeper (current version) is missing from 'background app refresh'. In order to start tracking a run, it has to be enabled in BAF...but it's not there. I've rebooted and reinstalled - no dice. Any advice?

    Go to the purchased tab of the app store on your iPad and try downloading them from there. Unless these apps have been updated to only work with a newer iOS version than what you are running, you should be able to download them again.
