Good afternoon good people of Nairaland, I need your help with my phone's data consumption.

I subscribed for 4G plan 3 days ago,when I checked my remaining plan today,it was 1.5G. I slept for about 4hours without disconnecting my data and when I checked again I saw 4MB. I subscribed again this time 6G and after surfing the web for about an hour,I got a message that my remaining balance was 500MB.

Could I have tampered with a particular setting unknowingly or what could be the problem?

My phone is Infinix Smart 5 and I'm using Airtel network.

Someone is secretly sharing your Glo data.... Do you remember ever using the USSD code *777* to add anyone in sharing your data.

Immidiately I read the first Paragraph, I already knew it was Airtel sad Same thing those Bastards did to me last week, and you know what? They started that stupidity when it really mattered to me, I was busy working on my Pc (Programming) and the way my data kept finishing within a twinkle of an eye was so unusual. I kept on subscribing and the same kept happening! I had to call their Customer care Line and the way I Shouted at the fool who picked ehn, I'm very sure he'd have gone deaf for some minutes angry angry

Next is Access Bank, I did Transfer of 63k to get some Packages for my Room here in school, the account I did the transfer to hasn't received the money, and I was deducted, the seller has gone to his bank and they told him that the fault is from my own bank. I'll buy Airtime from my bank to my Second Line or transfer to someone, I'll be deducted but the Airtime wouldn't add to my Sim's balance nor the person I transfered to, and I wouldn't be refunded. Not to talk of the N300 they keep deducting everytime for heaven knows why sake!

Nothing really works in this Country honestly. I go soon Appear for Instablog9ja, anyday I create time enter any Access Bank Branch, wait for outside Canopy till e reach my turn, then enter inside bank, e no go Funny I swear!!

My brother i nearly went to their mission road branch in Benin today to shout at dem.

I would recharge and my account would be debited but shishi a no go recv on my line, and dey wont refund it back

Go to your play store, click on settings in your play store. You will see network preferences
Under this, change your updating setting. Change from auto-updating from data to WiFi.

Your phone automatically updates either apps or version i guess. Check your whatsapp too and remove automatic downloads of videos, documents and files.

Check your phone's data meter If it corresponds with the data losses. Make sure your Hotspot is always turned off when you are not using it and change the password. Set your data usage limit to like 20% of the amount you bought. It will automatically turn off immediately you consume that amount so no losses when you sleep. Turn off all app updates and synchronizations too

The highlighted was what i was just waiting to hear. Airtel are broad day light robbers when it comes to data. i bought 10 gigs data last month and 4 gigs disappeared overnight, before the next day ran out 10gigs was gone. i quickly rushed and get an MTN sim fast and im now enjoying the true meaning of data.

For android

Tap on your mobile data icon for 1 or 2 secs

Tap on mobile data usage (depends on number of sims)

It will display the app that uses the most data.

Although I suspect YouTube to be the culprit cuz sometimes people download/save videos on YouTube app. Once in a while the downloaded video updates. Most of the time it's usually YouTube downloads.

Malware alert. Stop opening unverified link and web. Malware can drain your data in background without your knowledge.

Download the glasswire app, and check your data usage. You'll surely find the app responsible for the high usage of your data and block the app. I was having same issues until i did same thing and solved the problem. In my case it was this Google app.

I advise you to check your YouTube downloads cuz that thing go drink data without permission. The videos may have been saved for offline view but they usually update and the size their updates is no joke
