Unknown increase in data usage?

[skitzyd43]

The past two months I seem to have used all my data but I haven't used my phone any more than I usually do. I really don't understand why this is happening and why I have such an increase in my data usage! Weirdly, it has also happened to my other half, my mum and my step dad too in the past couple of months!

My stepdad and I are running a Nexus 5X and my Mum and other half are running a Nexus 5.

The drill down in myo2 is useless and doesn't tell me anything other than i have gone over!

Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Thanks

Have a look in your device settings under data usage and it will tell you what app has used the data.

Screams of a social media app with a new "improved" feature like auto load.

Facebook strikes again (maybe)....

Could be those auto play videos too? Facebook and other social media have a lot to answer for with their "improvements". I'm glad I removed fb and deactivated the account, I don't miss it at all!

Good job you found it.

Keep an eye out, as this resets anytime FB does an update!
