    Not sure what that data is for under 'Android OS'. Mines 8mb on mobile since 25/04 and 27mb on WiFi since 11/04.

    Would it be for checking for updates or something like that? Anyone know?

    Have you got photosync turned on? If so turn it off and you should see a difference

    I don't mean in your gallery,go to the google "photos" app and turn autosync off.

    It might be the play store updating itself. There have been quite a few updates to it recently and some of them are silent.

    Leave data off, connect only to wifi, leave your phone for an hour or two to let google do what it's gotta do.

    Then restart your phone, and go about as normal.
