Why is the data usage on my iPhone so high?

I can't figure out what I'm doing that is causing it to be so high. I've compared to family members who seem to use the same if not more than I do. I frequently make sure I have Wi-Fi on hoping this'll reduce it?

Make sure to check if certain apps aren't using your data. It's possible they download images and videos etc… Like for example Youtube, it has a preload function which loads all of your subscription. Check in every app his settings if it's using it. Some apps have the option to turn this off.
Although there might be an option for this on iOS 7, but I'm not familiar with iPhone that much since I'm an android user.

Id recommand you to turn off the icloud service & other auto backup & sync apps or settings…

  • Why is my email usage so high on my iPhone 4? My iPhone email is using a LOT of my data. For example, I just switched to T-Mobile and after 1 day my usage is 120 MB with 106 of that being mail. I even have it set to not load images automatically and it is still very high. Any ideas? I do have 4 email accounts on it. WIth about 2 hours left in the day I've gotten 55 emails today.
  • Why is my data usage so high after switching to At&T? When I had my iPhone 4 with Verizon, I used roughly 300MB of data per month. I recently upgraded to the iPhone 5 and switched to AT&T. Yesterday, at the end of the FIRST DAY of the billing cycle, I checked my data usage --- 500MB! I was barely on the phone at all yesterday. I probably checked Facebook 3-4 times and refreshed my twitter feed a couple times as well. I get about 50 e-mails per day. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
  • 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
