iPhone Crazy YouTube background activity killing my battery (8 Plus)

[cardwizard]

Hey all !

Are more of you having this problem ?

i watched a 3 minute vid on YT and the app shows a 7 hour (!!!) background activity, taking 36% of the battery, background refresh is off for YT but it keeps doing this

same for Tweetbot, but that one is not too bad

The main toggle to disable Background App Refresh not always does the trick. I always turn it off for every single app, and then disable it using the master switch.
