Since iOS has only per-app breakdown of data usage, and not per domain, it is impossible to tell _what_ is actually eating the data.

Even if it's just limited to the default browser?</p><p><a href="https://veganism.social/tags/iPhone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iPhone</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iOS</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/DataUsage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataUsage</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/HelpRequest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HelpRequest</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tech</span></a></p>
