Does playing games on the iPhone take up data usage?
I just got an iPhone 4, and I was wondering if playing games such as 4 Pics 1 Word, Wordsearch, Mahjong, or Chess would take up data? I'm connected to my Wi-Fi, if that's important. I only have 2GB a month, and I can't afford to go over. Thanks.

I would just turn off your internet and use your Wi-Fi while at home. That way you know for sure you are not using up all your data when you do not want to.
There's no doubt that online graphics, heavy multi-player games use up a lot of data fast. Even those simple games like angry birds or those free games you mentioned uses data, this is because many of the free versions of games for mobile devices are ad supported. These ads get to your phone over your data connection.
If you're connected to Wi-Fi, you're not using data.
Any game that requires internet access & done so over 3G/4G will use data. If on Wi-Fi, none at all.
- What does Cellular Data Usage Current Period mean? I have an iphone 5c and Unlimited calls, unlimited texts and 6GB of data. In cellular in settings it says Current Period: 8.4GB and Current Period Roaming: 0 bytes, am I going over my bill?!
- Under settings on my iPhone, does the data usage include Wi-Fi usage? Because its stating a ridiculous amount and I've had my data off… And my Wi-Fi on. Does the total of data include the amount of Internet I'm using when on Wi-Fi? I'm so confused
- Is tbere any major différence between thé iPhone 6 and the 6s? Whooppeee is Xmas again and my daughter wants new 2nd hand) iPhone… 2 years ago almost bought her 5 before i réaliséd that it was 5s she wanted ( cos thé 5 sucks?) And I don't want to screw up this year…
- IPhone: settings cell usage vs AT&T's data usage number? AT&T has a number, by calling it will send you a text message telling you how much usage you have used on your data. But also in the iPhone there's a cellular usage count in the settings app which also tells how much data you have used. Both of my cellular usage counts are different. Which is right?
