Big Data use....not by me?


In the past week all of the sudden there are some large data uses on my phone.  I normally wouldn't even check but got the notification that I've somehow used 50% of my data after nine days.  Nothing has changed, no new apps.  Numerous 100mb, some 300mb and even a 500mb block at a time when I was driving to work so wasn't even on my phone.  What the heck is going on?

Have you checked the data logs on your phone to see what used all that data? My guess is a some rogue app that uses up your data but only your phone can tell you. Koodo can’t check what uses your data due to net neutrality.

Data logs show almost all usage by Samsung Internet, whic it normally would be.  But not in chunks of perfectly even 300 and 500mb blocks.  Some of these are showing when I'm driving to work and haven't even been on my phone much if at all before that.  Its very strange.
