There should be a feature to show you how much data each app is using over that time period. There is on my Android phone. From there you might be able to figure things out.

Governator 54 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Your data depends on the apps you have continuously running in the bg, it's quite possible you've added new apps since you've switched over? Facebook per your example is likely refreshing often, go to the options and change the refresh interval timing or turn it off completely, do this with twitter as well. You should also connect yourself to a wifi network while at home or at work which would prevent most of that usage. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I've also heard that those videos people post on FB that auto run when you're scrolling chew up large chunks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

pezeveng 207 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 My data usage has spiked the last couple months too. Wtf. Zach I think I figured it out. In the 5 series of iphone all videos posted on facebook automatically play. So once you open facebook all these video's are being downloaded once posted by any of your friends. Under settings you have to scroll down to facebook than in there you have 3 choices to play videos on, wifi only, or off. I would suggest you turn that off. Amazing that none of the big carriers are telling people this. Both US and Canadian. Link to post Share on other sites
