How to Check Mobile Data Usage on an iPhone

Mobile data usage is an aggregate analysis of how much data your iPhone has consumed while browsing. Your device keeps a record of the mobile data you use on a daily basis, and you can view this information. In this section, we'll show you how to check your mobile data usage and how to avoid unnecessary consumption.

1. Check iPhone Cellular Data Usage

To view your iPhone's cellular data usage for the current billing cycle, follow these steps:

1. Tap Settings on your iPhone.

Step 2. Tap on Mobile Data.

Step 3. Scroll down to “Mobile Data,” and then look under “Current Period” to see how much cellular data you've used. You can also view the amount of data you've used during your current roaming period under “Current Roaming Period.”

Step 1: Open Settings, then tap Cellular.

Step 2: Tap Mobile data options.

Step 3: Next, click on “Data mode.”

Step 4. Tap “Low Data Mode” to start saving on your iPhone's data usage.

3. Reduce unnecessary data usage on your iPhone

In addition to switching to Low Data Mode, you can reduce your iPhone's data usage by:

1. ALLOW SELECTED APPS TO USE MOBILE DATA

If you allow all apps to access cellular data, your iPhone can quickly use up a lot of data. It's best to only let necessary apps run on cellular data. To set this, go to Settings > Cellular Data, then scroll through the list of apps and toggle those that have access to cellular data on or off.

2. Turn off Wi-Fi Assistant

When your Wi-Fi connection is having issues, your iOS device automatically switches to cellular data. This is done through the Wi-Fi Assist feature. To limit its usage and save on cellular data, you need to turn it off. In your Cellular Data Settings, locate and toggle off Wi-Fi Assist.

Turn off Wi-Fi Assist

3. Refresh Background Apps Only When Using Wi-Fi

Background app refresh uses a lot of data. If you want to manage your cellular-data usage, you can allow these apps to refresh only when you're connected to Wi-Fi. To set this, go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh.

Free Up Storage on Your iPhone

After checking how much storage is left on your device, you'll need to find ways to delete unnecessary data to make room for more important stuff. Here are some methods to free up space on your device:

Method 1: Turn on iCloud Photos

iCloud Photos enables you to automatically save your videos and photos to the cloud and remove them from local storage, freeing up some extra space. You can download your uploaded data anytime to access it. Here's how to enable iCloud Photos:

1. Open the Settings app, then go to Photos.

2. Tap the “iCloud Photos” option.

3. Tap “Optimize iPhone Storage.”

Enable iCloud Photos

Note: With these steps, iCloud Photos frees up space on your device as needed.

Method 2: Uninstall Unused Apps

Deleting unused apps also helps free up space on your iPhone. If you're using iOS 12 or later, you can automatically remove unused apps from the “Offload Unused Apps” option below the storage graph.

When this is on, the system will remove unused apps from the device (but not their data).

Method 3: Delete Apps/App Data

To free up space for a specific app, tap on it to view a breakdown of its storage usage. Next to the graph of your storage, you'll see a list of your installed apps and how much space each one takes up. The apps that take up the most space will be at the top of the list.

To remove the app from your device, tap Uninstall. If you want to delete its data because it's taking up too much space, tap Clear Data.

Method 4: Optimize Your iCloud Music Library

Sometimes, the music on your iPhone can take up extra space. To limit the number of music downloads, you can use the iCloud Music Library instead:

Step 1: Open the Settings app, then tap Music.

Step 2: Turn on iCloud Music Library.

Step 3: Navigate to the “Optimize Storage” option and turn it on.
