There are a number of activities and settings which could use up data faster than you’d expect:

  • Auto-playing videos on social media apps like Facebook or Instagram
  • Sending messages through iMessage, or using WhatsApp more frequently
  • Using your device as a navigator
  • Tethering your mobile device to another device
  • Setting your device to make automatic downloads
  • Automatically switching to data when the Wi-Fi connection drops
  • Downloading a lot of apps
  • Playing a lot of games which include advertisements
  • Leaving apps running in the background and checking them regularly

  • Connect to Wi-Fi when you can
  • Turn off automatic updates for apps
