What exactly is in the iTunes Media services? It has used over 4g of data in 2 days. I obviously, would like to turn off some of the cellular data it is using but there is no indication on what is included in this category on my phone. This just started happening last month and I have not changed anything on my cellular setting on my phone. This picture is 2 days after my new data cycle started.
Why did this just start last month though? And what exactly is it? If it is all from Apple music I will just cancel my package and use Spotify. Not worth 4 gigs of data a month for something that is already dowloaded on my phone.
My background refresh is off and it shows nothing for data usage for itunes just the iTunes Media. I already pay 15.95 a month for that package and now if this continues I will have to pay more for more data. Will this not happen if I cancel my Apple music?
