Here\u2019s how to find out.<\/p>\n<p>First, we\u2019ll assume you\u2019ve already navigated to Settings &gt; Cellular on your iPhone. If not, open the Settings app and tap \u201cCellular\u201d in the list.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-709226\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/iphone_settings_tap_cellular.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"In iPhone Settings, tap &quot;Cellular.&quot;\" width=\"650\" height=\"294\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Below a bank of options near the top of the \u201cCellular\u201d settings page, you\u2019ll see a section titled \u201cCellular Data.\u201d At the top of that, you\u2019ll see \u201cCurrent Period\u201d with a cumulative data count beside it. This is how much cellular data you\u2019ve used in total during the current period.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve never checked this statistic in Settings before, this number can look frighteningly large.
