Using more data than normal

[Anonymous]

Hi
I have an iPhone 4s I have on my plan 1gb of data and have never gone over this in over a year everytime I use Facebook recently it swallows my data I have had to buy 600mb bolt on in three days and I'm only browsing news feeds for a few minutes at a time any ideas??

Hi everyone thanks for replies I have now turned my auto play in videos off and hopefully that'll help but we will see.
Thanks again

Hi

Thank You for updating your thread.

I hope your data last longer.

It will definitely help..:smileyhappy:

It's really annoying that Facebook set the default level to ON for that feature - It really should be OFF by default.

Couldn't agree more MI5

As you know on the iPhone I cannot just delete the accrued data in an App. I have to delete the whole App and re download. When I do this with Facebook I tend to forget to go back into the apps settings and toggle auto play off or just choose play on wifi only. 😞

They did it obviously so that people would know about it but it really is annoying I agree. Made so much worse by the never ending amount of ice bucket videos which thankfully seem to have died a death amongst my group of 'friends'.

Once you've done the ice bucket once you don't do it again
Just gotta wait for all your friends to get through it (or just unfriend everyone)

I've seen none for 4-5 days now so hopefully done and dusted in my particular circle....and I escaped the challenge....not sure what that says about me

Me too.... I just kept my head down
