My Ipad has no cellular data so how do I check the usage

My internet provider says my data usage has skyrocketed but no new devices or usage changes. It's not my desktop & my phone has cellular data. My IPad does not. How do you check the data usage when there is not cellular data option and no other data option that I can find? I don't know how it's using data.


iPad, iPadOS 15

If you have an iPad wifi only model (or wifi+cellular, but you don't have any cellular plan for the iPad), the only way the iPad can use cellular connection is if you have activated personal hotspot on your iPhone (and the iPad is connected to that PH).

Contact your carrier and explain your situation.
