Data usage spike for no reason

Anonymous — Fri, 04 Sep 2015 20:43:17 GMT

over the last 3 days my data usage has gone up astronomically when I have not done anything differently to the last 6 months. When I check in settings, data usage it seems to all be showing as email background data. This is odd as I have the same email accounts on my iPad and see no spike in usage there. Anyone else seen this? Thanks

Check if there is an email stuck trying to send...?

Just looked in my outbox and nothing there. That would have been a nice easy fix, bother.

How about the sync settings / frequency?

No change there either, 15 mins same as ever.

Do you have any apps updating over mobile data?

also turn auto play on FB off as that can use up a lot

Auto download of images?

Again no change on anything. That is why I am getting concerned as this happened over night. I have now deleted and set up email accounts again to see if that helps

Let us know - I can't think of anything else.

Try deleting any non essential apps & turn off location settings
