Though iOS 13 comes with a handy feature called “Low Data Mode” to cut down cellular data usage, it’s not enough for those who have to deal with limited bandwidth. Luckily, there are multiple ways to reduce cellular data usage on iOS. For instance, you can set the Apple TV app to stream low-quality videos and even keep a track of how much cellular/mobile data FaceTime uses on your iPhone. Just in case, your bandwidth is running a little tight and you are willing to save every ounce of mobile data so that it can never end before the deadline, let me show how you can keep a tab on the FaceTime data usage with ease.
There are three ways to check how much data FaceTime uses. You can get it done using the Settings app, Phone app, and the FaceTime app itself. What’s more, you can not only view the overall data used by Apple’s video/audio chatting app but also see how much data has been consumed during a particular FaceTime video/audio call. From what I can tell, it’s a smart way to prevent the app from gobbling up a lot of data. Now that the talk is over, let’s get started with steps!
- Launch the Settings app on your iPhone and tap on Cellular/Mobile.
If you want to check the data used during a particular call, simply head into the FaceTime app.
- At the top of the contact card, you should see the total data used during the call along with the date and time.
Just like the FaceTime app, the stock Phone app also lets you see the data used during a particular FaceTime video or audio call.
