background apps
Silently running software
Background apps are software programs running on a device without being actively displayed or used.
They continue operating while you work in other applications—checking email, playing music, tracking location, or syncing data.
Background apps consume battery and memory, so mobile devices often let you manage or close them: I closed my background apps to save battery.
