Insane data usage from "Home Screen"

My iPhone 17 Pro's "Home Screen" has used 8.58 GB of cellular data in just the past couple of days. Over the last 7 days, I’ve already burned through more than 20 GB and I have no idea what’s causing it. Any ideas what might be triggering this?


What I have already tried:


  • Turned on "Low Data Mode"
  • Turned off WiFi Assist
  • Turned off all widgets
  • Turned off iCloud sync over cellular
  • Turned off App Updates over cellular
  • Turned off iPhone sync over cellular

iPhone SE, iOS 26
