How to check your data usage on a Samsung Galaxy S10
Unless you happen to have an unlimited data plan with your cellular provider, you may want to keep tabs on your data usage to prevent going over your monthly limit and incurring extra fees.
Fortunately, your Galaxy S10 tracks how much data you use, and you can find it in Settings with just a few taps.
Here’s how to do it.

How to check data usage on the Samsung Galaxy S10
1. Start the Settings app.
2. Tap “Connections.”
3. Tap “Data Usage.”
Your data usage for the current month will appear at the top of the page.
How to change the data usage reporting to match your billing cycle
The above is useful information, but note that it’s tracking your data on a monthly cycle, from the first to the last day of the month. If your cellular provider’s billing cycle doesn’t begin on the first of every month, then this data might not be entirely accurate for you.
You can change the cycle that the Galaxy S10 uses to better align with your billing. Here’s how:
1. On the Data usage page, tap “Billing cycle and data warning.”
2. Tap “Start billing cycle on.”
3. In the pop-up window, set the date each month that your cellular plan’s billing cycle starts and tap “Set.”
How to set a data warning to notify you when you’re close to your limit
If you frequently get close to (or exceed) your data limit, you might want to enable a data warning.
1. On the Data usage page, tap “Billing cycle and data warning.”
2. Tap “Data warning.”
3. Enter a number that’s around 75 percent of your data limit. For example, if you are on a 5GB data plan, enter 3.75. This way, you’ll be warned about your data usage before you hit your monthly limit.
