My wife seems to use loads of data, but we cannot understand why. She has used 80% in 3 days

One day the Green Fruit Brigade may see the light. I have never had an Apple and based on current thinking never will. My employer uses Android currently so that is helpful.

The idea that the device changes settings without use intervention is nothing but strange / weird.

It certainly is a conundrum @Anonymous 

 

I've read posts on the Internet where people say their data is being used fast, however same also say theirs is fine. 

 

Ive had from the iPhone 4 onwards with no excessive data usage.

Yet no one has asked the important question,
Why turn off wifi and switch to 4/3g as a battery saving method??
In every phone I've had, mobile data kills battery much faster than wifi.

Obviously it will do as the mobile signal is much less stable that WiFi - It's an Apple excuse for something they can't fix wink

Appreciate what your saying. 

 

However every battery saving tips I've read has turning off wifi included in them.
