help with dwindling data on Samsung galaxy ace 2

BLUEBIE

My daughter has a smasung galaxy ace 2 with 500 mb data. This last month she has gone over her data plan. Its was renewed yesterday and the online billing shows that she has used 76.8 mb of that data already.

I don't no where to check where all the data is being used up?

Can there be something she has accidently turned on that uses data?

Thanks for any help.

There are plenty of apps that monitor data usage.

Smartphones normally keep using data without asking their owners. To reduce it:

• When at home connect to your home wifi.
• Disable all automatic updates and do them on wifi only.
• Don't use the phone for downloading/streaming music/video when not on wifi.

There are other steps possible, but with 500Mb these have to be sufficient.

Updates of apps can be pretty constant .
