In iOS 11, Apple has added a feature that’s sure to be of value to iPhone users still on a data plan. The new feature shows your data usage, calling, and text usage stats for your current billing cycle (including your other call-enabled devices such as your iPad or Mac). Sadly, this feature is currently only available to T-Mobile users (sure will show up for other carriers’ users sometime in the future).
If you don’t want an app to update when connected to the cellular network? Turn it off in the "Celluar Data" options, and it’ll then only refresh when you’re connected to Wi-Fi, saving you precious megabytes of data.
