Hi Krest666,


That is strange that it is coming back on. Do those apps use Push Notifications? If they do then that may be the reason why hey keep turning back on. Take a look at the article below to give more information about apps using cellular data as well as turning them off push notifications Settings > Notifications.

Hey Krest666,


The last few things to try is to reset the settings on your iPhone to put that back to their defaults. It will not erase any content but you will have to go in set everything back to how you had it. The last thing to try is to restore your iPhone and set it up as new and test out those apps if the data usage turns back on.
