To see how much mobile data you have left on your iPhone, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap Cellular (or it may be called Mobile Data depending on your iOS version and region).
- Scroll down to the Cellular Data section. Here, you will see the amount of data used during the current period (which is the time since you last reset the statistics).
- You can also see data usage broken down by individual apps, which helps identify which apps consume the most data.
- To track your data usage accurately according to your billing cycle, you can scroll to the bottom and tap Reset Statistics at the start of each billing period to reset the counter to zero
Note that your iPhone itself does not know how much data you have left in your plan; it only tracks usage. To see exactly how much data remains on your plan, you typically need to check with your mobile carrier either through their app, website, or by dialing a carrier-specific code
. For example:
- T-Mobile users can check their data usage via the T-Mobile app or website.
- AT&T users can log in to their account on the AT&T website to see usage details without needing an app
If you want daily tracking or more detailed monitoring, you might consider third-party apps available on the App Store that can help track daily data usage and alert you when you approach your limit
. In summary, your iPhone shows how much data you've used so far, but to know how much data you have left, you need to consult your carrier's tools or services. Resetting your iPhone's data statistics monthly helps you monitor usage relative to your plan limits.
