Cellular Data Manual Reset Date

Can Apple make it so I can set a cellular data reset date manually instead of having to remember to reset it every time that I renew my monthly plan?


I would think a simple section to program the phone to reset the data on a certain date every month automatically would be much better than the current manual reset.


That way I can rely on my iPhone to see how much data I've used through the month. Another add value solution for the customers.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16

That’s up to your carrier. My carrier (T-Mobile/US) automatically resets my data statistics at the start of my billing cycle. The alternative is use an app such as DataMan, which has the option to choose a reset date. And it also tracks your Wi-Fi data.


But even with my previous carrier I didn’t have to remember; I just set a repeating monthly Reminder to reset statistics.

I would argue not every person with a pre-paid plan gets statistics reset by carrier. My carrier, Lycamobile, on T-Mobile/US towers certainly does not. They have 16 million customers worldwide, I would argue that none of them get their data statistics reset. If I had a line of code where I could manually set a cycle date, it would be a "Set it and forget it" type of deal.
