My 3G data usage is constantly running out added three bolt one this month it seems to be ever increasing!
I can't find on the website where my usage is detailed only an overall amount. Please advise where I can find this detail & also advice as to why my data usage keeps running out!

Hi

That is a conundrum as no connection should have occured when Mobile Data is turned off.

You could ask O2 when the connection happened.

Apple did include a patch to rectify a bug that was allowing data connection when receiving normal texts. This should have been rectified by iOS 8.0.2

This is the link to iOS 8.0.2 and what it fixed

"Fixes an issue that could cause unexpected cellular data usage when receiving SMS/MMS messages"

Okay well that's all I could find in connection to the recent iOS.

It's an avenue to follow advice to have a Genius Bar at an Apple Store to run a diagnostic via an appointment.

An end user can report back issues here https://www.apple.com/feedback/ too.

Do you have auto play of videos on Facebook disabled.

Emails with attachments such as images use more data for example.

How long is a piece of string?

Perfectly normal if your emails had downloaded attachements and facebook was very busy...

Not normal if just one email and one update on facebook 😞

Open the app and go into settings. Look for "Video Autoplay" and turn it off or WiFi only.
