Don’t think so, yeah it was definitely alarming. At least it wasn’t using that much yesterday. Some serious bug or something. But still making 10mb disappear off my data plan to “messaging services” every message I sent yesterday. Gonna talk to apple when I get the chance. In no world does a text based iMessage use that much data.

Ahh gotcha, yeah I agree. Something is definitely wrong. I’ll see what apple says.

The data is specifically attributed to messaging services in the cellular use breakdown. I reset it before testing and checked after every message. Was consistently ticking up about 10mb after every iMessage sent. That seems to be the source.

I reset my statistics before I sent that and 100 mb of data was used by messaging services. Ticking up with every message. Obviously it SHOULDN’T be taking up that much space and data is getting over counted or something. Something’s bugging out.
No need to be so contrary. I understand that it doesn’t take 100mb to send that information, something is clearly malfunctioning.

To clarify, I mean I’m sending an iMessage that is only text, not an SMS message. And it’s using way more data than it should be. My messaging services usage in the cellular data section jumps about 10mb each message.
Like not a picture or video or gif or anything. This issue is that sending the word “test” on iMessage ate up 7 mb of my data plan.

a week ago, I noticed it was eating up 100 mb per message so I turned off iMessage, updated my phone to the latest iOS release and waited for my data plan to roll over to the next period (because this bug ate up most of it). Yesterday I tested it again and it’s now eating 10mb per message, which is better, but still wayyyyy too much data.
And yeah, just plain text. The word “Test” as an iMessage caused a consumption of 7mb of “messaging services” data. Something definitely wrong.
