Hi.  Something has started using up all my data.  The only thing I can think of is Google Maps, which I've started using recently.  I've stopped usnig it though and all my data is still disappearing.  I topped up 500mb this morning at my desk and it's already gone.  Any ideas?

Thanks - I've just changed by Amazon Music settings to Data Saver from Best Available.  Maybe that will help.

I've also remembered I upgraded my Amazon Music to HD in the last month or so.  Could that be the issue when I'm not using Wifi I wonder?

Yes of course, it would now be downloading in HD or 4K which is likely more than 4 times the amount of data.

Estimated data usage per hour for Amazon Music:
Data Saver (48-96 kbps): approximately 43MB per hour
Standard (128-160 kbps): approximately 72MB per hour
HD 330MB per hour
Ultra HD or 4K 720MB per hour.

It still needs to get the content from somewhere.
Either from your device by downloading in advance or from the cloud, as I said above.

Yes ok, you carry on, I'll leave you to it. We have a car where we download music and use it in the car and never use any data at all. The link I gave for Amazon Music explains that!
