Data theft

[BarbF223]

Someone accesses my account and uses, or steals, about 200 mb of data every evening until the account is empty. Has anyone experienced this?

The 200Mb is a daily startup cache usage.. while it shows there on the usage history, it does not really using up your daily allowance

Thank you. No iPhone. But I have turned off all apps that were authorised to use data. I will watch again this evening.

Nobody is stealing your data. There is something updating on your phone. Not sure what phone you have but there should be somewhere in the settings to tell you what is using your data. There are apps that also tell you what's using your data. Just a side note, if you have an iPhone and you send iMessages, that uses data.

@BarbF223  Public mobile only updates the usage 2x a day so you’re always seeing the mast 12 hours used . So you think it’s possible when it updates when your asleep it just the day you used the prior 12 hours before and that’s it
