# BGContinuedProcessingTaskRequest.SubmissionStrategy.queue

An option that queues a continuous background task to begin as soon as possible.

```
case queue
```

## Discussion

This option adds the task request to the back of a queue. The system runs the task as soon as possible. The system might be unable to run a submitted task immediately if the system is currently at the maximum level of concurrent tasks.

> Important: The system cancels queued ``doc://com.apple.backgroundtasks/documentation/BackgroundTasks/BGContinuedProcessingTaskRequest`` objects if someone closes your app using the app switcher.
