I notice in my data usage history shows that every day just after midnight there is a data usage. I know that i do not use data at midnight, at least not every day. Is there an explanation for that or does at&t just reports all the little updates that phone does all day in one chunk? There time I know I used the data, it does show the amount used. Also, at night my phone is always plugged in and should be using wifi. Mystery!
Solved! Go to Solution.

The time in the usage history is not necessarily the same as when the data was actually downloaded. Those midnight entries could be a compilation of multiple data transfers from throughput the day.
I am an AT&T employee and the postings on this site are my own and don’t necessarily represent AT&T’s positions, strategies or opinions.

My daughter has an iPhone, and she has the same thing going on. Only they are huge chuncks of data being sent from her phone to unknown places. She swear's she's not doing anything.
