Q: Why am I using so much data now on Iphone 5 compared to my Android?

I have had three smart phones, two Android and now the Iphone 5 all with Verizon.  I have never come close to using a gig with my data, but now, with the Iphone 5, I am almost near my limit of 2GB for two months in a row.  I don't get it????  I use wifi all the time at home and work.  I do not stream movies.  Music, but only on wifi.  Anyone have any answers?? 

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4

    Morning dgohio,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    For more information on this, take a look at this article:

    iOS: About cellular data usage

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4146

     

     

    You can also temporarily disable cellular data when it’s not needed.

    • From the Home screen:
      • iPhone: Tap Settings > General > Network
      • iPad: Tap Settings > Cellular Data
    • Slide the toggle next to Cellular Data to off. This will disable all cellular data traffic until it’s enabled again.

     

    Hope this helps,

    Mario
