Can I monitor per app data usage?

Anonymous
Not applicable

Is there any way to see how much data a particular app is using? I had an issue with running out of data last month but I put it down to a glitch. My data renewed yesterday and it burned 200MB in a few hours so I switched off mobile data.

 

I did not use a specific data service that would justify this so I suspect it is one of the games I have misbehaving. Is there any way to see how much data is being consumed on a per app basis? I have an iPhone 4S, do not leave apps open and do not consume streaming services when not on wifi.

 

I am happy to delete the offending app but would rather not delete all my apps trying to figure out which one it is!

Many suggest the use of an app called Onavo for data tracking.

Thanks for the tip MI5 - this looks like the kind of thing I'm looking for.

Hmm... Doing some further reading about Onavo the VPN feature, data compression artefacts and difficulty uninstalling it - I'm going to back up my phone before installing/setting it up.

Never used it myself but a few on here do. Maybe they will offer you some assistance with it.
