Why my Iphone 6 use 3g data to sync documents etc if i turn off this option??

On settings-Icloud in docuemnts & data i turned off the option "use 3g data" some months ago, but in my report of used data, i found that in one month more than 1 gb is for Service system ( almost the 1 gb for documents and sync) What´s wrong?

On icloud - documents and data option, i only have on dropbox and whatsap, and i never upload any file, only download some files from dropbox. I Have a weeek copy of whatsap inside the app, maybe is this the problem?

Any help?

Thanks, Juanfra

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4

First of all, I think you are talking about Settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Use Cellular Data. As it says at the bottom there, "When not connected to Wi-Fi, use cellular data to transfer documents and data."

So this is not the right place to check if you're concerned about cellular data use for syncing purposes. Instead, check Settings > Cellular > [Use Cellular Data For ...].

That area will detail exactly what uses your cellular data. You can always turn off whatever you like.

Your screen shot shows "Documents & Data" is "On", and "WhatsApp" is "On".

WhatsApp uses huge amounts of data.

You can click on System Services in Cellular to see what uses data there. But if you elect to use WhatsApp, you will use very large amounts of data.
