Has anyone recently experienced a large increase in data usage? I normally use less than 3gb per month. I'm not using anything differently but my data is looking like 5-6 gb this month since Sky systems were updated recently

Not sure what you mean by this so what does the device's own data monitor show is using this data ?

Re: Increased data usage
Hi @Phil+Harr there have been a few similar reports here recently. What does your phones data monitor say is using the data ? The last time this happened to me was following updates to facebook and X which changed settings to auto play videos.

Re: Increased data usage
I think I've discovered it was an avast antivirus app. Now deleted but it's been fine for years
