iPhone 8/Plus My new iPhone 8 plus

I leave my phone plugged in most of the time and use the battery when I am out and about. I would venture to say that my battery rarely goes below 50% before it is getting charged again.
I have a launch day iPhone 4S with the original battery that still does decently well; 5-6 hours of web surfing before dying.
What kills battery is charging cycles and heat accompanied with time. The more times that you discharge and recharge your battery, the faster you wear them out. The hotter your battery gets, the lower the lifespan will be. The older your battery is, the lower its capacity will be. Lion batteries also feel more stress with deep discharges and prefer to be between 20%-80%. There is considerably less stress keeping the battery above 80% than there is keeping it below 20%. Faster chargers create more heat as they push more power into the phone in a shorter period of time - this can also add stress to the battery and lower its serviceable lifespan.
Here's reality - just use the dang phone, charge it when you want, and be happy with it. Batteries are expendable and will not last more than a year or three with regular, daily, use. When the battery wears out, replace it and do it all over again.

I open settings - battery and I see there:
WhatsApp - 2.5 hours of use and 1.2 hours in the background
WhatsApp background activity for that long?!
are you checking within the last 24 hours?! My usage shows this. 
Ps.
Background refresh and background activities aren’t the same in every app. WhatsApp might locally index your messages in the background but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s using the background refresh feature.
Most of the times the background refresh feature is used by news apps or social networking apps so that you can have an up-to-date feed ready to go when you launch the app again. But messaging apps use different server client protocol.

so I can't disable WhatsApp and Pictures on the background?
Background refresh will use more battery life because the applications can wake and access the internet to update their information.
Applications can still work in the background for a period of time performing processes before they are supposed to be suspended; believe it is one minute.
Dependent on how many times you open and close the app during the day...
You can open the app one hundred times and it has a total of ten minutes of screen time, but one hundred minutes of background time - if that makes sense.
I understand .. and I know that its use battery life..Background refresh will use more battery life because the applications can wake and access the internet to update their information.

I can disable it? I don't want it to work in background..
No, these are system specific things. You can’t control.
Ah yes, you can try doing this. I completely forgot about that because I never kill the apps. Although this might not kill critical processes anyway. But yeah that’s an option to try.
Yeah that’s what I suspected. Critical processes will not get killed. You don’t really need to do all that to be honest. Why are you so obsessed with stopping every feature your phone has anyway?
What is this apps switcher?
[doublepost=1529691453][/doublepost]
what is this?
Force closing the apps is likely the only way to keep background processes from running once an app is closed.
You have no control over it otherwise. Those processes exist for a reason and they do not use much power at all in the background prior to being suspended.
Double click the home button on your iPhone to access the app switcher. On the X, swipe up a little and hold for a second, then the app switcher will appear.
