Ios 16 consume too much data

is ios 16 consume too much cellular data? I scrolled Facebook for 2-3min using cellular data (didn’t even watch reels or videos) and i saw from the setting that it consumed 28mb. Note that I turned off the auto play, background refresh as well as switched to data saver mode for the media. But still too much. Besides other app like safari also consume too much data

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

iOS 16 consumes ZERO data. All data use is by apps.


The amount of data apps consume is merely the data sent to the app. If you are scrolling FB, presumably there are images in the content, and every image you view is downloaded. Likewise for Safari; there are a lot of graphics on most websites, and graphics take a lot of space. Background app refresh is irrelevant when using Safari OR Facebook; turning it off or on won’t change the amount of data used.
