You may also want to contact your carrier. Some of them offer services where you can monitor and control the data usage of phones on your account.

I don't know about the control (never looked into it) but, with Verizon, it's REAL easy to monitor via web or iPhone app. I can look at total usage and, if I wish, I can look at separate stats for each phone on the plan.

Vreizon also offers some parental controls. Useful for a parent monitoring a child who has not yet learned self control.

That's good to know. I have a grand-daughter that's almost at an appropriate age for a phone but, of course, her parents are concerned.

When I swipe up from the bottom of screen and hit wifi while data is on, does that stop data/LTE and use wifi only?

The phone while preferentially use WiFi if it that is turned on. HOWEVER. The phone will revert to cellular data when the phone goes to sleep (screen goes dark). It's good to review the settings I mentioned so that, when she is not on WiFi, she's not using data for things that aren't important.
