• View data usage by app
• Change billing cycle
• Set data warning or data limit
View data usage
1. Swipe down from the
Notification bar with two fingers, then select the
Settings icon.
2. Select the
Network & internet, then select
Data usage.
3. Data usage for the
current cycle will be displayed.
View data usage by app
From the Data usage screen, select
App data usage then scroll to and select the desired
app.
Note: To restrict apps from using data while running in the background, select the desired app then select the Background data switch. Your myAT&T account is also another way to manage your wireless usage.
Change billing cycle
From the App data usage screen, select the
Data usage cycle drop-down then select the desired
billing cycle.
Set data warning or data limit
1. From the App data usage screen, select the
Settings icon.
2. Select the desired
option:
• SET BILLING CYCLE: Select App data usage cycle.
• ENABLE/DISABLE DATA WARNING: Select the Set data warning switch.
• SET DATA WARNING: When the Data warning switch is enabled, select Data warning.
• ENABLE/DISABLE DATA LIMIT: Select the Set data limit switch.
• SET DATA LIMIT: When the Data limit switch is enabled, select Data limit.
Note: When the mobile data limit is active and has been reached, the mobile data block will remain in effect until mobile data is manually re-enabled on the device, the limit threshold is changed to a higher value, or a new data usage cycle begins. If you set data usage limits on your device, they do not communicate with AT&T systems. You will still receive AT&T system generated notifications as you approach your data limits.
