My phone keeps using all it's data at the moment it's going through 25GB a week, but I don;t know what on.

Is there a way of checking to see whats using it all?

Thanks 

Gareth

What make and model? But both Android and iPhones allow you to look at data consumption by app 

 

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

@Gareth21 

To be using that much data, something must be streaming or downloading constantly.

Start by closing all open apps and have wifii turned on and connected where possible.

 

To check data usage on an Android device, you can do the following: 
  1. Open the Settings app
  2. Tap Network & internet
  3. Tap Internet
  4. Tap the Settings icon next to your carrier's name
  5. Your total data usage will be displayed at the top of the screen
  6. To see how much data each app uses, tap App data usage
  7. To select a time period, tap the down arrow
How to check your iPhone's data usage 
  1. Open Settings
  2. Select Cellular or Mobile Data
  3. Scroll down to see which apps are using data

Hey, thanks for the quick response. It seems its Duolingo 

Not too sure how to do about that.

Have you tried closing the app after each use rather than just swiping it off the screen @Gareth21 ?
