iOS gives you the option to disable Background App Refresh either for all apps, or for individual apps: Settings -> General -> Background App Refresh

  so this will disable location and all other data for uber if its not in the foreground?
  • foodstances 10y ago
    That's a separate option. Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> Uber -> Never

      I'm don't know why you were downvoted, background refresh has nothing to do with the location setting.

        Per Apple's developer docs, if background app refresh is off, the app can't process location updates in the background. This was mentioned elsewhere in this thread as well.
