IOS 10 using more Data

Anonymous — Wed, 05 Oct 2016 07:31:12 GMT

Has anyone else noticed their data being drained since updating to the new IOS 10?

I have been with O2 for 18 months and never got close to using my Data each month but since updating to the new IOS 10 I have received one warning about by Data Limit and just checked today and will be running out before the end of the month.

I havent been using my phone any differently i.e. not been senting GIF's or drawings etc by text that could use data.

Which application is using data the most?
Look in settings to see.

Not noticed any changes and was on the beta for months

as said drill down to see what apps etc are using it settings> mobile data scroll down

I have also noticed this, last night I received a text to say that my data usage is full and that I would need to either upgrade my data or get a 'bolt-on'. Reason I got given was that the apps are now using more data to update, despite the fact that I don't have that many and have since deleted some, but also do not download videos/music and very few photos, so not sure where my data has gone as nothing has really changed? Could not give me any other reason! feel slightly 'had' really!

And yes my 'Wifi Assist' is turned off, I will turn off all mobile data at night in future as that is apparently when all the updates happen!

as adam says, check to see what has used the data.
also check for known issues (wifi assist being one) and see if they are updating in the background constantly and/or through mobile rather than wifi.
facebook is notorious for chomping through allowances at a rate, but streaming services (youtube, spotify, etc) can contribute to the problem.

The system updates the days data usage overnight so it won't stop the data use being reported at midnight, just like everyone else's does.

Does wifi still disconnect when the iphone is in sleep mode?

As far as I have seen @jonsie yes

^^ there is the issue then.
apps are background updating while the phone is asleep and wifi is off...

Not really - by default they are set to only update on wifi.
Even if you start on wifi and lock the screen they will carry on using wifi until complete.

The Wifi Assist has been turned off since the last update, I checked Mobile Data usage to see what is using it up -

System Services says 3.0GB, not sure if that is normal.

I am not using my phone any more than I did before the update, when I am at home the phone is connected to WIFI and rarely drops the wifi signal. I normally update any apps using Wifi.

Just seems strange that since I have had IOS10 that I have gone from using 1.5GB of allowance to 3GB.

Guess I will need to figure out how to go back to the old IOS

It's probably just because it's a new phone and it's syncing everything up to iCloud etc.
See if it settles down next month.

Just another thought too.
Check if diagnostics and use age data is not set to send to Apple. Turn that off if it is.

Hit system services it will tell you more info

And on billing dar reset the statisctcs at the bottom mine last done 15 april 2016

But diagnostics is only 979kb since then and personal hotspot 6.7gb
