A small bug that downloads enormous amounts of data?

• mcphage 7y ago
  From the article: > I checked iOS setting/cellular and saw an uninstalled app used 700-800MB. I closed the settings and reopened it and it was 900MB. The uninstalled app[s] used 1.2GB data in less than 5-6 minutes… It sounds like a reporting bug rather than a data consumption bug. I guess I'd like to know if they saw those same #s from their cellular company?

    From the article, yes: > I spoke with Verizon about the usage. They said it's getting categorized as audio and video streaming, but only because it's using network ports normally associated with those types of services.

    > I just noticed this issue on my iPhone XR. I got a notification from my carrier that I’ve used 90% of my 8GB of data and I have 11 days left in my billing cycle. My data usage is usually around 4GB per month, so this was pretty strange. I noticed that System Services and Uninstalled apps were taking up the majority of my data usage…. This seems to have started around the time I installed iOS 13.3. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/uninstalled-apps-using-cellular-data.2195879/post-28177409 https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/uninstalled-apps-using-...

        Could have omitted 90% of the article and just had that quote plus one more paragraph, but it wouldn't get as many ad views
