What is Background Data?

Background data is the consumption of internet by apps that are not being used actively (in the background) or even when your phone is in standby mode. It is also known as background syncing or background App Refresh for iOS devices. 

Mobile apps use the data in the background to provide you real-time updates such as messages and social media notifications. And this results in draining the mobile data.
