I started using whatsapp desktop and dont fully understand how it works. After the initial pairing the desktop app can send messages on my behalf. If I turn off my phone it will stop sending messages. If I then turn on my phone but run no apps, it will continue to send messages. How does this communication work? Does iOS run something in the background?

I turned off push notifications for Whatsapp and the desktop app is still able to tell if my phone is on or not
