Hi I decided not to post a new thread since my question is roughly in the lines of the present topic.
My idea is to set my Facebook app not to push but rather to fetch data (on 15 min intervals), so that I can conserve battery life, but receive my FB notifications on my iPad as quick as possible.
On my iPad, when I go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars Fetch New Data - I can see that I can disable Push and activate Fetch for 15min intervals instead. However, I am not sure whether this will change the settings for only my Exchange account or also for my FB app.
I can see "The schedule below is used when push is off or for applications which do not support push. For better battery life, fetch less frequently". In addition, when I go to Settings > Facebook > Push Notifications, I can switch off push for Messages, Wall Posts, etc, etc. However, nowhere do I see switch Fetch on for FB.
Two questions arise if I switch Push from the general Mail settings and switch to Fetch AND if I switch off all push notifications from the FB app settings, will that automatically switch Fetch for the FB app? Or will the FB app simply go silent forever
?
I understand that some apps (rarely) would not support push. What about apps like the FB one which seems all they support is Push, and not Fetch?
