How do you track your WiFi usage? Is there an app?

How can you know how much data you have used when connected via WiFi? iOS does not provide usage statistics for WiFi. Is there an app for this?

I have an iPad and I tethered it to my iPhone's hotspot via WiFi. I like to know how much data does my iPad use during such time. Also when I am roaming overseas on a limited WiFi data plan.

I know that there's an app DataMan that can track cellular data usage very well but it's alerts are built for cellular data, not WiFi data.

Any ideas?

You are replying to a post made over four and a half years ago.

Also lets not forget about tethering with cell phones and mobile hotspots, which have extremely small amounts of data they can use.

That depends on your contract. Mine is unlimited.

it would benefit a lot of apple device users who relies on capped data over wifi connection. less complains from user trying to figure out where their data credits has gone to...

So use one of the dozens of apps that do this already.

There's a new app called WiFiMan that tracks wifi usage for iPads and iPhones. It's in the AppStore.

My iPad is not with any carrier. It's WiFi usage I'm interested in, not 3G 🙂

Correction to my post above, data man w/3G only tracks 3G usage , the data man iPhone app does both and it's cheaper.

Data Usage - app. Free for now. I just downloaded and it seems useful. Tracks wifi and cell data use.

It would be better if Apple itself would launch an app that tracks per app wifi data usage.

Why would it be better if Apple did it?

Hi. The Status app (by Jiri Techet, not free) from the app store reports total data received and sent since boot. Not perfect, but may be useful.
