iPad Pro Background Activity

[Scruff1026]

Why do I randomly have major background activity use on my iPad. I have and always have had all background activity turned off. Right now is Home using like 1 hr a day. Sometimes it's other apps and nothing from home and sometimes there is nothing at all like it should be. I have noticed in the past that this will happen for a few days after an update (still random apps) but I haven't done an update in about three months. The inconsistency of which apps run in the background or any at all is a little confusing to me.

Why do you care? What's the problem?

If there is nothing consistent with it clearly something right. I would like to know what make it use three hrs of background activity this time. Next month it maybe be nothing like it should be.

Or… the activity is consistently random. Perhaps what you perceive as random is consistent or exhibits a pattern when view over a longer time frame.

I agree that there is nothing wrong with wanting to understand how your computer’s OS works.

Maybe contact the app developers to ask about the background activity.

Most of us would like to know how things work. But unless their is an actual problem bothering developers with just a knowledge request diverts their time from more important tasks such as fixing bugs. Likely they would ignore the request anyway - at least that has been my exprerience. If there is an actual problem as you work the issue you can usually ask questions about the architecture.

Just still doesn't make sense I looked today just to see if it has gone away and didn't use any for a couple of days which it does from time to time. This time Mail has used over 42 hrs, it's something different every time I look. The thing is I have never used Apple Mail on any of my devices, never been opened on the iPad. I just originally made this post to see others experience with this. Next time I look it maybe zero hours in the last 10 days.
