Data usage application tracking

Recently I noticed a surge in data usage which caused me to exceed my prescribed data cap. Upon inquiry with my mobile service provider, they informed me that it was due to use of Amazon web services application, which are apparently utilized through other applications. However they are unable to give me further information.

Is Apple able to track which application caused my surge? I would really like to know in order to prevent future similar situations. Is there a way to prevent these problems from occurring again?

View how much data you're using

To see how much cellular data that you've used, go to Settings > Cellular or Settings > Mobile Data. If you're using an iPad, you might see Settings > Cellular Data instead.

Scroll down to find which apps are using cellular data. If you don't want an app to use cellular data, you can turn it off for that app. When cellular data is off, apps will only use Wi-Fi for data.

To see the cellular data usage for individual System Services, go to Settings > Cellular or Settings > Mobile Data. Then scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap System Services. Cellular data can't be turned on or off for individual System Services.

You can view the data usage statistics for an app from a current period, or view app data statistics for apps that use data when you were roaming. To reset these statistics, go to Settings > Cellular or Settings > Mobile Data, and tap Reset Statistics.
