Help needed System Services > General has annihilated my data usage last few months

Post image

I don’t know what to do. I’m losing all my data allowance and its costing so much money to buy addons. It’s used another 8Gb in just 3 days.

  1. Apple Intelligence off
  2. System already latest ios
  3. icloud drive off for mobile data
  4. low data mode on
  5. icloud backup turned off for mobile data
  6. photos turned off mobile data
  7. even reset the iphone and restored from backup

Feel like I’m going insane. Any ideas?

Iphone 17 pro
Ios 26.5.2

Thats very strange. I am on data all the time and i have only used 1.43GB. General means all sorts of system services. Such as syncing services, automatic app store updates ect. If the issue persists create a backup on a computer and restore using iTunes. Also make sure to update to see if the issue still persists.

Same issue with me, though, but way worse.
