Uninstalled Apps data use

13.2.2 is definitely not a universal fix. I’m running this version and this month I’m up to 21mb. Without having uninstalled anything in months. This is about 5% of my total data usage. Seems small but if you are on a limited plan, every little bit counts.

Bump.

Any updates on this?

I have the same problem. Yesterday I totally nuked my phone and installed everything fresh - not even a restore from backup. And within minutes I was getting cellular data usage from an "uninstalled app." I'm already at 1gig in just 20 hours.

Not sure if this is related or not, but my "DNS Services" is using a ton of data as well. This should be very low given the size of a DNS lookup and it's already at almost 1MB in 20 hours.

I've been on WiFi almost the entire time too. I left the house for a bit this morning, but I'd say 90% of the time I've been on Wifi.

Any news on this problem?

FYI - There's another thread with the same issue and no solution - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250698474

I’m still experiencing this and it has been almost 5 weeks having an open issue with Apple. Currently sitting at 79MB under Uninstalled Apps since Dec 20th which is a huge decrease to the 4.5 GB used in 1 week when this was first an extreme issue. The support person has me updated every so often after logs were taken, to indicate that no update is available from Apple engineering. Next follow up call is scheduled for Jan 14th. I’m expecting that the update will be that there is no update. 👎🏻

Interesting. I did temporarily remove my wife's account from our homekit about a month ago. Had her back on within the same day, but that would fit with that hypothesis. But it sounds like it doesn't explain your situation.

Same....I’ve been working with Apple support since beginning of December! My case has been “escalated “ in priority to engineers several times. Guess what...huge surprise....no answers/solutions. The latest I heard was “in cases like these, usually you just have to wait for the next update.” This was right before I updated to 13.3.1. Another big shock....that did NOT fix the issue. I’m not leaking as much data as I previously was in uninstalled apps, however, it is still going up......with nothing installed, uninstalled, etc! In the mean time while waiting for this to be fixed before upgrading to iPhone 11, my trade in value for my 8 has decreased significantly. Was told by Apple to wait and now they will not honor original trade in value or offer any kind of compensation. To say I’m beyond frustrated with Apple is a huge understatement!

My issue, which was a high use case of over 6GBs in a matter of days in early December, I’ve not heard back for over a month on the issue. Usage has dramatically improved but I’m still waiting for a reply from Apple Support.

I’ve written back to support showing them what happened. Now I wait.

I refuse to install this update, it is yet another lemon update from Apple. iOS 13 has been a disaster. If you want a good, unbiased opinion before installing any of these so-called "updates" to see what they seldom ever fix and so often break, go to Forbes:

"Apple iOS 13.4 Is Causing Serious iPhone Problems"

No it hasn’t been fixed didn’t change anything also battery drain seems to have dramatically increased could practically watch the battery going down ended up resetting seems to have improved battery life.Now wish I didn’t upgrade to 13.4

This is shameful, we need our phones more now than ever before in our lives with all that is going on in the world and this is what Apple gives us. I am a senior citizen, I've been an Apple product user for 30 years. For the first time since the late 90s and very early 00s, I am embarrassed to tell people I use Apple products. I can't go out and upgrade to a Samsung right now considering the circumstances but if and when this coronavirus pandemic settles, I will not purchase another iPhone.

It is happening with my iPhone 8 too. This category consumed 1.1 Gb in the last 2 days. I reset my counter and hadn’t uninstalled anything after. I have a support case open. No resolution yet.

Mine is doing the same thing. Just today my uninstalled apps went 483km. I have reset and it shows up.

Same issue here, I have reset multiple times and not uninstalled anything since resets

The silence from Apple is deafening

Really? Is that the solution?

it downloaded 6 gb in 30 minutes.

this is a really big problem. apple should solve it!!

Topher, KB's are miniscule. 1000KB = 1MB - 1000MB = 1GB. So 197 KB of data used in a day is very small. Mine was using 1.5GB a day in uninstalled apps.
