Data usage

[Krumpledroses]

Hi everyone,

In the last two months I have noticed I am using a lot more data than usual. I checked out the usage history and it keeps telling me that I am using 100 or 200MB of data at around 12am (which is 10pm in my time zone). However, I am always at home during this time and would be connected to my home wifi rather than using my data. Does anyone else have this issue? I am not sure what is going on especially since it only started two months ago.

Your very welcome.

I glad you found your solution.

Okay!! I think that makes a lot more sense. I was so confused as I didn't think I was using data at that time. You are saying that it updates at midnight and won't actually show the exact time I used that data. I probably use the data earlier in the day. Thank you so much

@Krumpledroses , what phone do you have?  It used to be that iPhones with WiFi assist could allow mobile data to be used while on WiFi.  Android has caught up and has a similar implementation where being connected to WiFi does not disable the mobile data connection.  Phone settings need to be changed to ensure that a WiFi connection does not allow a parallel mobile data connection.

The Public Mobile system does it data usage updates a 12 noon and 12 midnight.

That's probably what your seeing in your account.

Open your phone settings and disable data to any app that you don't use regularly.

Also, disable Wifi Assist
