Android os using half my data

I am only allotted 1gb of data for a month, so I must use it wisely. Unfortunately the android os has been using half of my data!! Last month it used .45gb, and this month it's already at .20gb and it's only been one week! I have restricted background data but it is still doing it. Someone please help me.

Kayla2977, this is alarming to see. Let me assure you that we want to figure this out. What kind of device do you have?

The updating of the apps is controlled by the Play Store setting.  You should be looking at the data usage setting to see exactly which apps are using the data.  Most people use less than 6 GB per month and you are using almost 20!?

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
