Over the last month I have noticed that my data usage has been extremely high and my data bundles barely last. 5GB anytime Vodacom bundles used to last me the entire month with a few hundred GB expiring. However, this month has been completely different.

Vodacom has had a promotion where you can buy a "20GB" bundle for R99. This 20Gb is broken down into 7.5GB anytime data, 7.5GB nightowl and 5GB for Youtube. This bundle is valid for 30 days. Whenever I buy these bundles, all of the anytime data is used up within 5/6 days. I've had a look at the breakdown of which services has been using this data. I see Google_Common, Google_Play and Moloco seem to be the culprit which uses up majority of the data.

I am using an iPhone with the latest iOS, so the Google_Play line item doesn't make any sense.

Does anyone know what these services or which which apps they would relate to?

@duckgray I would guess you are backing up your photos + videos and other things...

  • Restrict background app refresh
  • Disable automatic photo backups
  • Turn off usage & diagnostics
