Ok so data rest on Thursday. By end of Saturday I’d used 3.8G - how is this even possible!!!! Sounds like I was watching a movie or listening to music for an hour right! I have switched off data on apps like Facebook and insta which I know can be drain on the feed. I did take lots of photos with either camera and sent about 10 snaps (only I photo thou rest were messages) so even if I upped to 8G - I’d still only get 4 days - what the hell is going on??

    Its easily possible to use a lot of data each day.

    This is an extract of my data usage this week, on my Asus Zenfone 9, which is a 5G phone. (Your iPhone X is a 4G phone)

    What are your most frequently used apps ? I wonder if any of them are consuming a lot of background data, which could possibly go hand in hand with high battery usage. Are you noticing that ?
