Updated today

If you’re wondering where your data has been used, we’re here to help. Checking your data usage on your device can show you which apps or services are consuming data and help you track your plan usage better.

Here’s a quick guide for iPhone, Samsung, and Google Pixel users, plus a few handy tips to help limit your data usage!

🍎 For Apple iOS devices

  • OPEN Settings

  • SELECT Cellular or Mobile Data

  • Scroll down to see a list of apps and how much data each has used. Apps consuming the most data will be listed with their usage totals.

🤖 For Samsung Android devices

  • OPEN Settings

  • TAP Connections

  • SELECT Data Usage

  • SCROLL down to see which apps are using the most data.

💡 Tip: Samsung allows you to set data warnings and limits. This feature can help you manage data and avoid unexpected charges.

👾 For Google Pixel devices

  1. OPEN the Settings

  2. TAP Network and Internet

  3. SELECT Mobile Network

  4. TAP on App Data Usage to see each app's data consumption.

💡 Tip: Pixel allows you to set data warnings and limits. This feature can help you manage data and avoid unexpected charges.

💡 5 Simple Tips to Limit Data Usage

1. Use Wi-Fi Whenever Possible: Connect to Wi-Fi at home, work, and in public places to save on mobile data. Just make sure you’re using secure networks!

2. Limit Background App Refresh: Apps often update in the background, using data. Turn off **Background App Refresh** (Settings > General > Background App Refresh) on iPhone, or restrict background data for specific apps on Android.

3. Lower Video Streaming Quality: Streaming in HD can consume a lot of data. Adjust the video quality settings in apps like YouTube, Netflix, and social media to **Standard Definition (SD)**.

4. Turn Off Auto-Play for Videos on Social Media: Videos that auto-play can quickly eat up data. Disable auto-play in the settings of your social media apps (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) to save data.

5. Download Content for Offline Use: For music, videos, and maps, download content while on Wi-Fi to use offline. This saves you data when you’re on the go.

❓ Why Check Data Usage?

Understanding your data usage is a great way to manage your plan, and it helps ensure your data is being used as expected. By identifying apps that consume a lot of data, you can control their access or adjust settings to save data.
