iPhone Using Too Much Data - How to Fix Extra Cellular Data Charges and High Data Usage
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 янв 2019
- Last week, my parents iPhone which is connected to LTE all the time was using an incredible amount of data and were getting charged for going over their limit several times. I didn’t know about it until now so I needed to stop the data leak quickly. So what’s causing this is a bunch of apps that are still running in the background. My parents who are older and don’t have WiFi didn’t know that these apps were still running when the phone was sitting on the home screen. On this phone there are a lot of apps open right now but the one I’m thinking that’s causing most of the data usage is the Maps app. To me that app shouldn’t be running when you’re not actively using it.
The first thing we need to look at is Background App Refresh. It allows apps to continue to use data while the app is still running but you’re not using it. Each installed app is listed here and you can turn each one on or off individually or completely turn off Background App Refresh for every app on the phone. You’ll have to decide which app you’ll allow to have continual access to data.
This phone almost always is on LTE data so I’ll be turning this setting off for the entire phone. Then you can double tap the home button and swipe up on each app to shut them down. You may find that some apps don’t work correctly with Background App Refresh turned off so turn it back on for the apps you think will need it. After doing all this we haven’t been getting any more extra data charges on this phone. And one thing I want you to remember after watching this video is to go and shut down some apps occasionally on the iPhone especially if you know someone who is pretty much using LTE daily, this will potentially help them avoid extra data charges.

I turned data off, and some damed apps keep turning data on by themselfs !!
Yeah unfortunately I guess that can happed where the apps will turn data back on.
Same here
Is there any app which can analyse which app is using more data?
GlennJJ1993 your settings should tell you
still happening and it seems Apple knew about something fishy with the data. 10GB within 22 hrs of refreshing the phone, like 7 GB is used by System.
Also screen time is 24hrs full, not by the devices on hand, and we have 2 different iPhone with 2 different iclound accounts, with all passwords reset a few times already.
One of the time the icloud email received a iphone pw reset request email with a time zone in US (we are in HK and we always receive GMT+8 written in the email when we do a reset). So something is REALLY fishy with Apple and they are not telling us what's what.
I tired of my iPhone Recharge I use 27GB per day 😢
Turn off iCloud

Turn off iCloud
Yo what happens when u run out of cellular data
On some carriers when you reach a certain data limit they’ll reduce the connection speeds for your cellular service. But on the phone I had in the video AT&T just keeps charging more for every 500MB it goes over. You won’t lose service but you will have a very large bill at the end of the month.
@@TheRenderQ Thx
