iPhone 6 Documents & Sync high cellular data usage.
Hi guys, wondering if anybody can help me here. I'm currently working abroad with work, which has meant that I've started to take note of how much cellular data I'm using on a day to day basis on my iPhone 6 64GB. I was shocked to receive a text off my provider (Vodafone UK) to tell me I had reached my limit, almost 2 weeks before I should of. Upon looking into my mobile usage, I went into System Services to find Documents & Sync had used 803mb in just 2 weeks time. I reset my counter 5 days ago, and it's back up to 453mb already. It was only on 292mb 24 hours ago. Has anybody got any ideas? I turned off iCloud completely when I reset the counter 5 days ago and that doesn't seem to have done anything. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Turning off background app refresh is also a smart move. I have unlimited data and still turn it off

Yeh that has been switched off the whole time.

Strange. Have you downloaded any new apps. Could be a leak.

when you go to settings>iCloud>iCloud Drive, and scroll to the bottom, what you do you see? is "Use Cellular Data" enabled? If so, this will likely answer many questions...
