# backgroundRefreshStatusDidChangeNotification

A notification that posts when the app’s status for downloading content in the background changes.

## Declaration

nonisolated class let backgroundRefreshStatusDidChangeNotification: NSNotification.Name
```

## Discussion

Discussion The system sends this notification when the backgroundRefreshStatus property of the app object changes. That property can change in response to the user disabling multitasking support for the app. The object of the notification is the UIApplication object. There is no userInfo dictionary.
