It only uses up GB if you have cellular data on?
I have an iPhone 6s and I have data on my phone. And I have my Cellular data turned off but I keep getting texts saying I'm using to much GB? What am I doing wrong to make me use it up? Please help. I keep getting yelled at because of it.
1. Make sure your home Wi-Fi signal is strong and reliable (some parts of the house may not be close enough to the base station)
2. Turn off Wi-Fi Assist. That feature backs up a flaky Wi-Fi signal with cellular data.
3. Check the list of apps allowed to use cellular data, and see which ones are consuming the most.
4. If you're on a family plan with shared data, you may not be the only culprit. Have a polite discussion with your folks about the family usage to narrow down what else could be using data.
Honestly I wish I had an explanation, but if you have Cellular Data turned off then you shouldn't be using any data. Could download a data monitoring app & see if anything is being used & if so I would alert it to an Apple Store because that is not expected behaviour under those circumstances
- Why does my iphone use data over night when cellular data is turned off? Every night I turn off cellular data and leave the iPhone on and one day I wake up and check my data manager and see i have already used 25 MB please help!
- Why do i only receive pic msgs when my cellular data is on? I have an iphone 4s from verizon and for some reason i only receive group msgs and pic msgs when my cellular data is on. I have limited, but when my Wi-Fi is on (most of the time) i never get pic msgs why?
- When you have Wi-Fi and cellular data on at the same time, does it use cellular data? If I keep my cellular data on and also have my iPhone connected to Wi-Fi, will it use any of my cellular data?
- 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.
