I'm pretty sure it has to do with iOS uploading data. My internet connection has plenty of bandwidth for downloading, but bugger all for uploading.

Why are you pretty sure it's the phone uploading shit.

Turn it off for a bit and see if the problem goes away.

 

[OzSTEEZ]

damn
last thing i would suggest is switching off location services

Thanks for your help mate, but that didn't do it either.

Yeah as soon as I disconnect it from the wifi, the problems goes away. As soon as I connect it back to the wifi, the problem reappears.

Wireshark it

Yeah I need to learn how to use that. I've used it for my PC taffic, but I have no idea how to capture traffic on wifi devices from my PC.

By no means an expert. Can you see where it's uploading data to? Cause then you can figure out the app. I know you said it's iOS that's doing it but you might be able to figure out a specific aspect of iOS and disable it.

Nah i don't have anything setup (i.e. a proxy, or network tap) to analyze the network traffic.

Half tempted to just ban iOS devices from my LAN.

iOS doesn't have anything that shows what's using bandwidth?

No.

It does have a battery usage monitor listed by app. Which might be helpful here.

That's weird that they don't show you that data.

never had a need for it personally.

I suspect the Aussie contingent has some shady shit running on that phone that they don't know about. It is possible.

I'd do a format C: on it.

For the most part though, there is feature parity between Android and iOS. That's why it's odd.

I couldn't even find an app to do per app bandwidth monitoring.

Yeah, it would have to be a system app. Apps are siloed into their own space with essentially no ability to see each other.

Beats me. I've never heard of an iPhone doing that shit.

Yo @OzSTEEZ

Reset network settings on the phone.

He has to wait for the planet to rotate so Oz is at an optimal angle.

So Google Music Manager has finally been killed off. Figured I would try the Youtube Music ecosystem. It defaults to clean versions of songs, even with restricted mode turned off. Super annoying.

Is there an app that I could install on my son's PC (windows 10 pro) that would text me when he goes to run Minecraft so that I could approve or disapprove of it?

I want to allow him to do his school work in his room, but I keep catching him Minecrafting up there instead of listening to his teacher.
