    High data usage (unknown reason)

    My iPhone 7+ is using a lot of data (WiFi and mobile) but I don't know why. I first noticed the issue when my phone seemed particularly hot one morning, and later discovered I had used 15GB of mobile data in one day. I contacted Apple who unhelpfully suggested that I switched everything off...

    PSA: Don't put off backup management until it is too late! How to prepare for the worst!

    A recent post by yet another user whose RAID 5 array failed and due to unautomated backups is now facing a huge bill to recover missing data from a data recovery company that led me to create this thread.

    Flickr app data usage

    I'm running iOS 9.3.2 on my iPhone 6s+. Out of curiosity I checked my cellular data usage since the last statistics reset I did a week ago, and to my shock I see that the Flickr app has burned through 4.5 GB in that week. I like Flickr, and I find the app enjoyable to use. In that week I...

    Do you leave "cellular data" on 24/7?

    Even when you are connected to WiFi, and does it run out easier this way? I get 3gb a month on my plan and was wondering if I could make it last by having it switched on constantly. Edit. Does just simply leaving it on 24/7 drain the data? Thanks,

    Apple Music Data Song Stream

    Recently I removed my unlimited data plan from my AT&T plan because I was only averaging about 6gb/month so I got a much cheaper plan allowing me 20gb/month thinking that I would not ever come close to that. In the last 10 days, since switching plans, I have somehow managed to rack up 15gb of...
