How do I check my data usage?
You can check how much mobile data you have used directly in your device settings. Most smartphones and tablets show a breakdown of total data usage and which apps are using the most data.
Checking data usage on Android
- Open Settings
- Tap Network & Internet
- Select Internet or Mobile Network
- Tap your mobile network
- You will see the total amount of data used
To see which apps are using the most data:
- Tap App data usage
- Review the list of apps and their usage
Checking data usage on iPhone or iPad
- Open Settings
- Tap Mobile Data or Cellular
- Scroll down to view Current Period Usage
You will also see a breakdown showing which apps are using mobile data.
Important note about data usage
The data usage displayed on your device may not exactly match your billing cycle.
This is because:
- Your device measures usage locally
- Your provider measures usage directly on the network
