Understanding Data Usage
What Affects Data Usage?
Data usage varies significantly based on the quality settings of your applications, the type of content you consume, and your usage patterns. Video streaming typically consumes the most data, especially at higher resolutions.
How We Calculate Usage
- •Each activity has a standard data consumption rate per hour or per action
- •We multiply your usage time by the consumption rate
- •All activities are summed to give your total daily usage
- •Daily usage is projected to weekly, monthly, and yearly estimates
Data Usage Factors
Video Quality
Higher resolution videos consume exponentially more data. 4K uses 10x more than SD.
Background Apps
Apps running in background can consume data for updates, syncing, and notifications.
Auto-Play Features
Social media auto-play videos can significantly increase unexpected data usage.
Note: Actual usage may vary based on network conditions, device settings, and app optimizations.
