Yeah. My Apple TV and stereo paired HomePods show up all the time. I have literally never accessed them. I have the literal Remote shortcut tile in the Control Center anyway. We need an option to “exclude from control panel” option in accessory details. Although I’d prefer to be able to just list which accessories or scenes I want like picking Lock Screen widgets.

No. Apps in the background are almost always in a suspended state and don't use processing, and iOS limits them to very few processor cycles - basically to check for new mail notifications, etc.

There is little reason to close apps in the background except if the app is acting up somehow.

Yeah i've seen so many people say this and it seems to be true.

But will keeping some apps that you only use once or twice a day on the background for the whole day, drain more battery than you opening and closing it just when you need it. See what I'm saying?

From what I've heard and watched on a youtube tips video, this is wjere Apple shines: able to hold onto many apps open as long as it can; that this is making use of their powerful chipset inside. The tip said that opening and closing apps spends more power to launch the app itself rather than to let the app running in background.

I need a second opinion though.
