My data (3g) is going so fast?
I just got a new iphone 5s, and i updated my phone so i would have new money and data but it seems to be going to fast but i'm doing the same things i was on my old iphone 4 but 300mb was gone in 2 days while on my iphone 4 it would last for about 2 weeks and i haven't been doing anything different
is there something on the new iphone that uses all the data up really fast? Or does having 4g on affect that at all?
Ask your store
You may have apps running in the background that are using the network. In the latest version of iOS (iOS 7), which is supplied with the 5S, apps can talk to the network even when they are not active on the screen. In some cases they can move a lot of data, which can eat into your data allowance.
To deal with this, you can go into Settings > General > Background App Refresh, and either turn it off entirely, or turn it off for specific apps that you don't want using the Internet behind your back. I turn it off completely, but it's up to you.
An alternative is to go into Settings > Cellular, scroll down, and turn off cellular data for the apps you don't want using your data allowance. You can also turn off cellular data entirely at the top, but that's a bit extreme.
If you turn off background app refresh, apps can't run in the background even when you are on wi-fi. If you turn off cellular data, the apps can still run in the background, but they can't use any of your data allowance while you are connected via the cell network, they can only work when wi-fi is connected (which doesn't use up your data).
First when you press the home button the app is still running so you have to close it and 2nd use Wi-Fi when you have it
- Why is my cellular data used so fast? I have an iPhone 5 from Verizon and have a monthly plan of 5GB. I keep using all my data really fast and i don't know why. I do not watch videos too often (1 once a week and they're short aprox 3 mins). I talked to verizon on the phone and in person and they say they can't do anything. I have iOS7 too if that makes a difference. Help me! I turn my data off when I don't need it too.
