@ecowen It shoudl be build into your phone, which iOS version are you running?Most likely go to Settings, Tap Cellular and scroll down near the bottom it will give you an alphabetical list of all the apps using cellular data. You can also click System Services at the bottom for data usage by built in services from apple like messenger, software updates and itunes.

For 3rd party, here is a great app for tracking data. https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/my-data-manager-vpn-security/id477865384

There is one built into the iphone. Go to settings then cellular and you will see you usage. Scroll to the bottom and you can reset it when your billing cycle renews.You can also log into your self serve account and see how much you are using from there.

Hotspotshield and My Data Manager app. Some people have concerns about privacy using these apps on an iphone as My Data Manager installs a VPN on your phone to mine data.

Thanks for this. I can't seem to find where the billing cycle is entered.

Hi @ecowen

If you click on the drop down manu to pick cycle, the last one should be to change the start date

There will be very small difference between pm tracker and the phone tracker and it will account for the data used by pm for their background process and for mms, those are not counted against your allowance, but your phone Offcourse cannot know that

@Triguy I'm not an iPhone guy and don't know Hotspotshield, but MDM has some privacy concerns which may or may not bother you. Best to read up first.
