Controlling Data Usage
You can keep track of the amount of data transferred to and from your device over
your cellular data or Wi-Fi connection during a given period. For example, you can
view the amount of data used by individual applications. For data transferred over
your cellular data connection, you can also set data usage warnings and limits to
avoid additional charges.
If you are using a device that has multiple users, only the owner (that is, the primary user)
can adjust data usage settings. Adjusting data usage settings can help you keep greater
control over data usage but cannot guarantee the prevention of additional charges.
