IOS 10 using more Data

Anonymous · ‎05-10-2016

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.

^^ 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.

Hi

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.
