Apple Music Data Usage

Joekers · 2017-10-05 22:10:24

I have been using apple music every day for the past year about 30 - 60 mins each day and never once have I ever used more than 4gb of data a month. Last night out of nowhere using apple music for maybe 2 hours max it used 13gb of data this was just streaming no downloading or anything. Has anyone else ever had a problem…

Nope nothing downloaded for offline use and don't have any Apple products except this app.

This might be the issue - having a big collection, it downloads all the artwork. It's still an awful lot of data though
