If you're experiencing high data usage on the "Documents and Sync" feature on your iPhone, there could be a few different reasons why this is happening. Here are some possible solutions:
- Go to Settings > Mobile Data > Photos [Disable]
- Go to Settings > Mobile Data > Files [Disable]
- Go to Settings > Mobile Data > WhatsApp [Disable]
- Background App Refresh: The Documents and Sync feature may be using a lot of data because it's constantly syncing in the background. To reduce data usage, you can disable Background App Refresh for the app. To do this, go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and turn off the switch for the app.
- Large Files: If you're syncing large files (such as high-resolution photos or videos) using Documents and Sync, this could be using a lot of data. You may want to consider syncing these files only when you're connected to Wi-Fi to reduce data usage.
- Disable Backup over Mobile Data: To do this, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup > Backup Over Mobile Data > turn off the switch
By trying some of these solutions, you should be able to reduce data usage on the Documents and Sync feature on your iPhone.
