- iOS limits how long third-party apps, including backup apps, can run in the background. For more details, see Do iOS apps run in the background.
- No third-party backup apps can run continuously in the background on iOS.
- This app’s “Automatic Backup” feature works within Apple’s system. The more you use the app, the more frequently it may start.
- How it works:
- iOS controls when Automatic Backup runs, ensuring it won’t interfere with your phone’s performance.
- iOS triggers the backup when your phone is idle and based on your app usage patterns.
- Each background backup session is short, lasting less than five minutes.
- A foreground backup can only continue for less than one minute once in the background.
