I recently received a notification from T-Mobile indicating that I was approaching my 50 GB limit for high-speed data, which would mean a reduction in speeds if I surpassed it. This was surprising to me, as I rarely use much data—typically staying under 10 GB each month.
The only other time I received a similar alert was when I was streaming a lot of videos while away from home, so that felt justified. At first, I dismissed this notice as a minor inconvenience.
However, a few days later, a message appeared on my Mac stating that the Continuity Camera feature was not functioning properly over Wi-Fi, which resulted in my phone being disconnected from the home network. Interestingly, I’ve never actually used the Continuity Camera before.
It’s possible that it became enabled during a recent operating system upgrade, or perhaps I inadvertently accepted a prompt at some point. Given the circumstances, I can’t help but wonder whether anyone else has experienced a significant increase in mobile data usage since they began using Continuity Camera.
It’s possible I’ve not paid attention to similar notifications in the past, but if my phone is frequently disconnecting from Wi-Fi while I’m at home, it would certainly help explain the unexpected spike in my data consumption. I’m curious to hear if others have faced this issue with their mobile data when using Continuity Camera, particularly if it interferes with their Wi-Fi connections.
