There are often complaints about access breaking up or at least slowing down.

Checking your data usage on Android may vary depending on what device you have.

Generally, users can head to the settings app and click Apps, and then See all.

If you see a button called Cellular data and WiFi then select it.

You will be able to check apps individually to find out which ones are using the most WiFi.

The largest users will be at the top of the list.
