IPhone 6s uses lots of data and battery quickly runs low: how to fix?

I have an iPhone 6s that is perhaps 2 years old. For the past 6 weeks, it has been using a lot of data if I use the Internet using cellular data (rather than Wi-Fi); for example, browsing a few sites last night used 221 MBs of data in about 4 minutes. The battery also very quickly runs low.

Is there a way to fix this?

This happened in the past a few times when I had used a lot of data (not realizing that I needed to shut off cellular data and use Wi-Fi only), but the issues always stopped within a few weeks, perhaps once that billing cycle was done.

This time, however, I used a lot of data in March and the issues are still going on, more than a month later.

The phone has nothing to do with the amount of data you use on cellular. It's more than likely the sites you're visiting are filled with ads and videos which uses a lot of data. To fix that I'd recommend a browser that can block/reduce these things such as Opera or Dolphin. They both have ad blockers and Opera has a data saving option.

As for the battery dying quickly, the 6S is somewhat old now so your battery probably isn't as good anymore. A battery replacement can fix that, I got mine Replaced for £15 at an Apple Store and the battery life has improved greatly.

Data use is up to you. As far as battery maybe maybe it needs a new one since 6S is from several years ago (the apple store can put a new one in pretty cheap, and it will be like new again)

  • When does data for a iphone from Verizon reset? And what uses up data? I just got an iPhone and I'm getting messages that say that the "usage reset date" is 10/10. Does that mean that is the day my data will be reset? Also, what uses up data? All I've been doing since I got my iPhone is texting and looking at a few things on the internet but I'm always connected to my Wi-Fi.
  • My iPhone runs out of power quickly? My iPhone dies in power pretty quickly. It can be 100% at the start of the day, then after a few hours of use, it's down to 40-50%. Then 0%. Is there something wrong with my iPhone? Ken D: Never heard of Sarah P, but I'm from Australia. Lol
  • My iPhone runs out of battery quickly? I just got my iPhone on my birthday 7/2 and I love it. One problem it runs out of battery extremely quick. I did an experiment last night I took a screen shot of my screen being at 100% and when I woke up it was at 73% I cancelled all my apps the night before but it just runs out really quickly
  • My iPhone runs out of battery extremely quickly? I charge it all night so it's at 100% in the morning, and if i'm extremely lucky and hardly use it, i can reach noon with my phone dying out. My bluetooth is never on, I keep the screen-light almost on the lowest, and i never use the speakers. I bought it a year ago, and my friends never have this problem. Suggestions?
