its virtually impossible to figure it out on an iphone !

Just googled your problem and it looks like a lot of iphone users have this problem, seen a lot of theories on why this is happening, but nothing that sounds convincing.

Here is one article about it.

Plenty of other stories and complaints, about this issue.

Your phone jailbroken? If so, maybe this would help.

If you go into Settings, then Cellular, you can see how much data each individual app is using and make it so that app cannot use cellular data.

Apple must be slipping if they allow an app you're not using to use data, sounds more like an Android thing. They're probably collecting your location data. You can go into Settings>Privacy>Location Services and check out which apps you allow to do that or shut it off entirely...

its been shut off thats whats confusing

I ahve to get my phone in. I think my wifi antenna in the new 6 is out or not connected. I have to be on LTE or else I can't get coverage. Ran speed tests this weekend with my ipad sitting beside my phone. My ipad was getting 15mbps down every time and my phone would get between 5mps down to .05mbps.

I have unlimited data still, so not a huge worry yet.

FYI my wife and both had the wifi issue and taking the latest iOS update fixed both phones. If you have wifi issues, update. It took forever since you have to download over wifi but was worth it.

update fixed my wifi as well
