Data Usage

[Anonymous]

Is there a way I can work out what is suddenly eating my data?

My usage seems to have doubled and I don't know why?

Thanks

You may have an app on your phone that's using it up. You could try deleting apps to work out if it's an app. Do you use the internet a lot on data? Do you stream while using data like YouTube for example

You can look in settings to see which apps are using data.
Settings >Data usage (or wireless and networks >Data depending on android version).

Usual suspects are Facebook/Messenger @Anonymous.
If you check your android version then we can advise where to check.

Hey @Anonymous did you find out what was eating the data in the end? Any help from the suggestions above?

I would add Pinterest to that list!  I just checked my data usage for the month and it is the biggest user.

It's a great app and I love it, but I do wish it had a setting only to update on my phone when I'm using wi-fi.

I'll contact them about it!
