Keeping track of your data usage ensures you stay within your plan limits, avoid unexpected slowdowns, and optimize your connectivity. Whether you’re managing a Global Access data plan or monitoring priority high-speed data usage on an unlimited plan like the Essential or Advanced plans, iOS provides easy ways to check your consumption.
This guide covers how to check monthly data usage, current cellular usage, and reset statistics for better tracking while using World Mobile.
How to Check Monthly Data Usage on iPhone
Your iPhone does not automatically reset data usage tracking at the start of each billing cycle. However, you can manually monitor monthly data by resetting the statistics at the beginning of your cycle.
Steps to Check Monthly Data Usage
- Open Settings.
- Tap Cellular (or Mobile Data).
- Scroll down to Cellular Data Usage.
- Check the Current Period for total data usage.
- To monitor usage monthly, reset the statistics at the start of your billing cycle (see instructions below).
This method is useful for World Mobile users who want to track their priority high-speed data before potential speed reductions apply.
How to Check Cellular Data Usage on iPhone
If you want to see how much data each app is consuming, iOS provides a breakdown of per-app usage.
Steps to Check Per-App Cellular Data Usage
- Open Settings.
- Tap Cellular (or Mobile Data).
- Scroll down to view a list of apps under Cellular Data Usage.
- Each app displays how much data it has used during the Current Period.
- If an app is consuming too much data, toggle off its access to cellular data.
Apps like video streaming services and social media platforms tend to use significant amounts of data. Monitoring per-app usage helps conserve high-speed data for essential activities.
How to Check Data Usage with World Mobile
Since your iPhone tracks all data since the last reset, the most accurate way to monitor usage is through World Mobile’s official app, which reflects billing cycle-based data counting and priority high-speed data limits.

Resetting your iPhone’s cellular data usage statistics is useful for tracking monthly data consumption or monitoring data usage while traveling with a World Mobile Global Access plan.
