Hey Harsh1711,


Thanks for providing that detail. If you’re downloading a video in the Mail app, it should be coming in as an attachment. Mail may download new messages in the background but if you’re downloading an attachment, you may need to stay within the app itself until the download completes. Take a look at this article for more info on how attachments work in Mail on iOS:

Hey there Harsh1711,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re having issues with a download pausing in an app when you switch to another app. We’ll be happy to help with this.


This may be expected behavior depending on the app. Some apps allow you to download in the background but others do not. Please let us know which apps are exhibiting this behavior.


We hope this helps.


Take care.
