Cool Tip: How To Check How Much Data Your iPhone Apps Are Using

August 28, 2017 4:47 am

You should check occasionally to see just how much data is being consumed by your apps and system services because you want to make sure you can tone down your usage when you’re getting close to your caps before you reach them. Monitoring it for yourself ensures you’re not in for a surprise when you suddenly see an overage increase to the monthly cellular bill.

Follow below To see how much data each of your iOS apps are using:

  1. 1. Launch the Settings app from your Home screen.

    2. Double tap the Cellular button and scroll down until you start seeing a list of apps.

    3. Turn on or off cellular data for specific apps.

Underneath the name of each app, you’ll see a number of KB, MB, or GB of usage. This usage is the amount of data these apps have used since being installed on your device, or since the last time those statistics were reset. This amount doesn’t include data used on Wi-Fi networks.

In addition to apps, system services throughout iOS will also consume cellular data. System services include functions like Personal Hotspot, MMS, Location services, Push Notifications and more…

To check to see how much data your system services are using, follow these steps:

  1. 1. Launch the Settings app from your Home screen.

    2. Double tap Cellular > double tap System Services to see a list of system services that have used your cellular data.

Here, you can see what system services have been using your data, and just how much, since you started using your iPhone or iPad. You can compare this data with the data used by your apps, and then compare that data to the data on other iPhones on your plan, to see whether or not your carrier is over-charging you.

How to reset your data statistics:

  1. 1. Launch the Settings app from your Home screen.

    2. Navigate to the Cellular preference pane, and scroll all the way down to the Reset Statistics button:

    Double tapping on this button will clear all current data records for both your apps and your system services, allowing the counter to start over.

This feature can be an effective tool so long as you keep monitoring it and resetting it every time the billing period expires.

Keeping taps on your iPhone or iPad’s data usage is important for the sake of understanding what apps are consuming the most data on your devices. If an app you don’t really need is consuming too much of your data, consider deleting it.
