Switch off your data when you are not using your phone. Also consider changing Network. I've heard one yellow network and one red network drink people's data like palm wine. |

I heard Airtel is notorious for draining data or it could be some apps on your phone are auto updating, just go to your settings and stop those apps from auto updating |

If you are living with other people, they may have enabled your hotspot without you knowing. Once they put your password in once, it will automatically connect next time. 1 Like 2 Shares |

On my opinion it best you find a suitable vendor where you buy data yourself, instead of this subscription directly from the network providers. |

Talking about data in Nigeria, MTN is way ahead of other networks. Everyone should switch to mtn till others wake up. Although I hardly can finish 1.5GB monthly not when the internet is not my home, I believe in the near future, satellite internet will take over leaving these networks to die out naturally. PS. You may want to switch off background data and stop unnecessary download on playstore. 3 Likes |

I think when u use 4G network, it's sometimes like that. Try downgrade ur network to 2G if u want to sleep at night, that's if u have to put on ur data overnight. The thing is that u get the same u will get with 2G when u wake up in d morning. 4G drains everything including ur battery, it will be as if u are browsing overnight. 1 Like |

Airtel are data thieves. There is nothing wrong with yours phone, the network you are using are crooks |

Check the data usage you'll see the apps sucking it dry. Go to settings -Network & Internet -Select the sim you use for browsing -Then choose App data usage You can decide to turn off some background usages and even restrict some apps you don't usually use. Also consider using other lines because Airtel is pretty expensive. 3 Likes 1 Share

Dear femmoy, Check your Photos app. I'm 95% sure it's the culprit. I use Airtel and I have this confidence in them because the day I bought this phone, I did a 20gb sub on it with a couple of Binge subscriptions. It measured about 22GB when I checked data usage. I always have Internet Speed Meter and Glasswire app installed on my phone to monitor my data speed and usage. It was when I saw my data speed astronomically high when I was using just WhatsApp that I checked Glasswire. It exposed the Photos app. Since then, anyone who complains about random data usage, I first check their Photos app. That app dey run people data street die. Other causes may be having automatic update enabled in Playstore, having automatic downloads enabled in your chat apps or setting backup to drive enabled in apps. Below is a screenshot of the Glasswire app. On the top of the screenshot is the 'KB/S' of the Internet Speed Meter which I use to the rate at which my phone is consuming data 2 Likes 1 Share

femmoy:First of all, go disable your google play store app. After that, check whether there are some redundant background apps running, if yes, halt them. Also, learn to turn off your data whenever you're not using it. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I've experienced it before, simply you've installed a data sucking app unknowingly, to be on a safe side simply factory reset your phone, problem solved. |

Jii95: Yes this too... I remember how I downloaded almost all the videos on a telegram movie group without knowing. It stopped downloading after the data got exhausted. So on all these apps, just turn off automatic downloads, even for Google Play, turn of automatic updates. 2 Likes 1 Share |
