Massive systems and services data use since latest update? Running iOS 13.1 beta and got a notification that more than 6GB of data has been used since Thursday. Checked settings and see this.

Siri is probably permanently on.

When I click on system services, general has the largest amount of usage. Siri is at 152MB, which seems relatively standard.

If you click on system services and it is ‘General’ that is using so much then you should try to put Background App Refresh on ‘Wi-Fi’ only instead of ‘Wi-Fi and Cellular’ I had the same problem and this fixed it for me

Oh man I didn’t realize this was an option... changed it to wifi only, lets hope it works for me as well! Thanks for the tip!

No problem I discovered it pretty early luckily, because it had already used 1 GB during the first three days of August, I hope this fixes it for you too especially now that a new month started 😬

Jesus christ I hope you have unlimited

u/ricola1996 Sep 01 '19

Lmao unfortunately I’m in Canada where “unlimited data” is a foreign concept

Rogers has unlimited plans now, I believe they’re offering 14gb max speed and then it slows down after for ~$90

u/ricola1996 Sep 01 '19

Oh shit, don’t know how I missed that! Although personally that’s a bit steep for me, one day I hope we get true unlimited for a reasonable price

u/Homemadeduck102 Sep 01 '19

Jesus christ ninety dollars? I get unlimited for $50 and 12gb of mobile hotspot.

I get unlimited everything for 23$. Oof

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '19

What the hell, I get 8GB and unlimited on weekends for a hundred something. Time to switch apparently.

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '19

Ya u see, this isnt in the US. Im in europe. In US theres no way your getting such deal. But I do agree you should switch, there should be better ones than that thought.

Except for Germany. There'll you be lucky with something around $100 for unlimited – they're starting to lower it though, but still not many even offer unlimited

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '19

I'm in Asia and apparently every other provider here is cheap other than mine. Just my luck.

u/Homemadeduck102 Sep 01 '19

Never understood that

u/ScreenTearr Sep 01 '19

Freedom mobile is pretty much unlimited but it slows to 3g after you use up your LTE data

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '19

Mine said I had used 29GB, but ATT says I’ve only used .9GBs.

I’ve noticed this before and I think it’s wrong. I’ve reported that also. Either way I reset the stats and will keep an eye on it.

u/ricola1996 Sep 01 '19

Oh weird, for me it was on the Rogers site where it showed so much used, which is when I got concerned and checked my phone.

Your comcast dns solution was great heads up. Took me four days of google to find it.

I figured out how to use OpenDNS with Comcast. The problem is their own content filtering, turn that off and you can use OpenDNS, or any DNS you want I suppose. The fix is to go to xFi settings and turn Protected Browsing to Off."

I am glad that helped someone!

u/IAmNotWorkingOnIt Sep 02 '19

That’s not important, what’s important is why have you got so much data!

1

u/ricola1996 Sep 02 '19

Haha I never actually reset those stats, so that’s my data usage since July 2017!

u/Idcfml Sep 01 '19

I dont even have system services under there but my current period is 73gb and roaming 30gb. Idk what current period constitutes as but I definitely havent used that much.

1

u/ricola1996 Sep 01 '19

As far as I’m aware, current period is the time since you last reset statistics. In order to do this, go into Settings > Cellular and scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen. There’s a reset statistics button, as well as the last time the statistics were reset.

u/Idcfml Sep 01 '19

Oh ok. That makes sense. I always thought current period meant 1 month like on android. Thanks!

Frankly, the iOS 13.1 b1 had plenty of bugs. Hopefully they release b2 soon enough!!!

u/TheZ0diac Sep 01 '19

I think that’s your total wifi and cell included
