Cellular data usage suddenly increased and it looks like Bluetooth Services may be the culprit

Hi, I don’t think I am? I have never used the personal hotspot. Just checked settings under personal hotspot and i don’t see anything offhand to change. Thanks for replying! I just got off the phone with Apple and i have one thing to try but I’m not too hopeful. We will see.

Hi, thank you. Oh absolutely, I am well aware of how to check and manage the usage. The “Bluetooth Services” seems to be eating up my data and from there I cannot find any information about what this entails or why all of a sudden I have a huge increase in cellular usage for this item. I will contact support!

Hi there, this is EXACTLY the issue I’m having and yes I do also suspect my car is downloading data from my phone hence using the Bluetooth services. I took my car in to the dealership for a computer update (no update for radio available) and no idea if it was a coincidence or what but I went from using about 30mb a day to about 30mb per week (like happens about one time per week now). Maybe that is what my car was using in the past and I just never paid attention because I was still ok on data. We also share 1 GB per month. I started watching the numbers every time I drove. Once when I saw the Bluetooth services start to rise I hurried up and unplugged from car play and the numbers still went up about 30 mbs so it can still happen without being plugged in I guess. So still no real solution to this but I’m in a more manageable place after that update. Hoping it stays ok. Good luck to you, if you ever learn more please update here!!
