I am looking for a data usage app for my (daughter's) iPhone. So far all the apps I have seen only give you the total data used. I want to know exactly which applications or processes are using how much data each please?
This is the best I can do within the iPhone settings but it is not answering where all the big GBs are going so clearly...
I don't know much about the smartphone and their apps. I did read a story recently in Wired:
Here is an inexpensive data usage control app for you. Unfortunately it is another import from China.:-)
I don't see any data suckers there . It would be a video/ data steaming app like youtube or others without wifi access.
Verizon can give warnings/notifications about "hyper' data usage.
Problem solved with this text message: In future months if your phone continues to use too much data I am going to let AT&T turn off your data for the remainder of that month.

You might try Battery Doctor
Android Galaxy S5, goto settings and pick data usage and it shows what every app uses and has an option to limit mobile data usage.
I believe it is built in by Verizon.
I'm not a Facebook user but I heard the daughters talking about Facebook messaging, chat (whatever its called) using data unreasonably and to use iMessage instead.
There was a bit of a conundrum here with an iPhone using way too much data.
If that's nonsense just ignore.
Data is leaking out of her phone somehow again...
Sometimes her phone and my phone confuse themselves for each other. Someone will call her phone and it shows up on my phone as a missed call. Yesterday her phone said that my Personal Hotspot was turned on, but it was not. We are gonna go to the AT&T Store.
I don't know that I'd have posted names and phone numbers. You ought to ask one of the admins to redact the names and numbers.

Thanks man. Good point. Just did so. I guess I can not delete it myself now that we have reply'd to it.
Sitting down in the AT&T store right now. 50 minute wait.

I have the same exact problem. I have 4 phones sharing 20 gigs. Warnings didn't help, they kept running over. When I finally enforced it, I shut everyone off. Since then I track it through out the cycle , on the ATT website, and cut them off separately when they reach their 5 gig limit. Ive got two that reach it every month fairly quickly and slowly but surely they are catching on. One saving tip I have tried to instill in them is to turn off the apps periodically throughout the day. A quick double tap on the home button and pulls up everything that is up and harvesting data. Swipe up on them to turn them off.
Having to be the A-whole the first time is the hardest part, as is everything in parenting.

I'll bet money that they will blame Apple...
I just put my daughter on a limit of 1 Gig. We have a 7 Gig plan. Most months she blows it and some she doesn't. With Verizon I can limit her. She is learning to always try to use WI-FI first then go to the data plan. Otherwise she waits for the next cycle. And believe me, she knows that it is on the 3rd of each month.
