How to Reduce iPhone Data Consumption?
Reducing data consumption is mostly about stopping background transfers and lowering media quality. You can cut usage dramatically with a few settings.
Top Ways to Save Cellular Data

| Disable Wi‑F Assist | Settings > Cellular | Prevents cellular fallback when Wi‑F is weak |
| Turn off Background App Refresh (or limit) | Settings > General | Stops apps syncing in background |
