Ever wondered why your iPhone's data runs out so fast? Maybe some apps are secretly using a lot of data without you knowing. Here's a simple guide to check which apps are using your mobile data:

 

Step 1: Open the "Settings" App

First, find and tap on the Settings app on your iPhone's home screen. It's the gray app with gears on it.

 

Step 2: Tap "Cellular" (or "Mobile Data")

Once you're in Settings, scroll down and tap on Cellular. On some iPhones, it might say Mobile Data instead. This is where you'll find all the data usage info.

 

Step 3: Check the App List

After opening Cellular, you'll see a long list of all the apps on your phone that can use mobile data. Next to each app, there's a switch showing if it's allowed to use cellular data. You'll also see numbers showing how much data each app has used recently. For example, it might say "1.2GB" or "500MB". This helps you see which apps are using the most data.

 

Step 4: Check Data for Dual SIM iPhones

If your iPhone has two SIM cards, you can tap on each SIM's name to see data usage for that specific SIM. This is useful if you have different data plans for each SIM.

 

Step 5: See How Much Data "System Services" Use

At the bottom of the Cellular page, there's an option called System Services. Tap on it to see how much data your iPhone's built-in services (like location tracking, app updates, etc.) have used. Sometimes, these services can use a lot of data too.

Another Way: Use Your Carrier's App

Most phone carriers have their own apps. Download and log in to your carrier's app, then look for options like Data Usage or Usage Details. There, you can see a breakdown of which apps are using data. This can be helpful if you want a different view or more detailed stats.

 

Now you know how to keep an eye on your data! If an app is using too much data, you can choose to turn off its cellular data access in Settings. This way, you can save data for the apps you really need.
