Here's a strange one... Since getting my new iPX and starting afresh as new, I have been fastidiously switching background app refresh off for almost all new apps I install as a way of maximising battery life.

However, after installing an app (IFTTT) a short while ago and going into settings to switch of background app refresh, I found that all apps which I had previously switched off had been switched back on again!

Anyone else had this, or know what may have caused this?

Also, as an aside, does anyone else set about switching off background app refresh for almost everthing, or rather on a case-by-case basis depending on actual battery life experience?
