Why mobile data runs out fast, and how to fix it

The most common reasons mobile data runs out fast are video apps, cloud photo backups, app updates and Personal Hotspot. Settings › Cellular on iPhone, or the data usage screen on Android, shows how much each app uses. Data saver modes and app permissions reduce usage.
