Why is my iphone using so much data lately?

I have a 2GB data plan and I've had an iphone for probably 2 or 3 years. For the past year I'll get close to my data limit most months and even go over maybe every 3rd month. With it being every 3rd month (roughly), it was cheaper to just go over and pay the extra $10 than to upgrade my plan. This current billing cycle I hit 60% of my plan in TWO DAYS! I hit 100% after five days. I'm not doing anything differently this month than I have every other month. I called AT&T and they have no idea either. They gave me a $30 credit to pay for my overage fees this month, but that's it. They can't tell me which apps are using up all the data. What could have possibly changed this month? Where is my data going? Any thoughts?

Remove all recently installed apps and then install every day one back and check if data usage is becoming high again. Or maybe you watch to much youtube videos.

Because of the software increasing data, use of memory

  • Why is my iPhone 5 using so much data? I just got my iPhone 5 four days ago, and I've already gone over my 200mb data plan. Before I had the iPhone, I had a Blackberry Torch 9800, and I've never gone over my data plan. I use the phone the same amount as I used my Blackberry, and I'm connected to Wi-Fi throughout 90% of the day, and rarely use data. So why am I going through my data so quickly?
  • Why is my iphone 5 using So much data? - 2 I get 3gb on my plan, I have a Facebook Messenger app, whatsapp, candy crush and instagram (as does my sister) but she rarely goes over her limit, however i'm able to go over my 3gbs in 6-7 days easily. My last bill was £40 over due to data. Any ideas what it could be? How can i see what uses a lot of the data?
  • Why is my iPhone 5 using so much data? - 1 For the last couple of months my data usage has skyrocketed! I have gone from not coming close to my 750 megabytes to having to beg EE to upgrade me to a 1gb package which I'm now on round to going over double! The only thing that has changed since I got my phone was a new 4g sim a few months ago but apart from that I havnt changed any setting.
  • Why is my Iphone 5 Battery Life so bad lately? My Iphone 5 has recently been getting very bad battery life. The only things that I have changed have been setting my email to push as well as resetting all of the phones settings. Would the email really hurt my battery that much? I took a shower today for 15 minutes and at first my phone was at 94% and when I got out, my phone was only at 98%.It used to charge so fast and I have no idea what is going on. Please let me know.
