 Pete Chuck ass he says I review my cellular data use at the end of each month so that I avoid going over my 5 gig cell Plan cap and I have avoided and also avoided roaming charges Then I reset those stats for the next month this month I noticed a new listing among the many apps that I have on my iPhone running 70 iOS 17.1.1 He probably is now on point two. I may have missed the uninstalled apps category in the past But I don't think so it seems new to me and after I cleared my November cellular data usage that category Disappeared and has not come back It wasn't a significant amount of data usage relative to everything else But I wonder about what it refers to and why it would show up now Yeah, well, and he actually signed it Chuck in Japan So how upper-po that I can say from Osaka tonight. Can each you watch Chuck? That's right. Yeah, you are you are in the future. Yeah, the uninstalled apps category first data That's actually used by apps that have since been uninstalled from your phone So the features in iOS designed to give you a complete picture of all your data usage Including the data consumed by apps that are no longer present on your phone So when you uninstall an app from your iPhone the iOS system keeps tracking that data and All those apps used during the current billing cycle or or data tracking period and it's aggregated under Uninstalled apps in that list there in the category in the cellular data usage Settings and since the uninstalled apps category represents data used by apps that are no longer on your device There's no toggle to turn it off To turn off cellular data for those apps because they're already gone. You've already turned them off. Yeah Yeah, see boy, have you turned them off? So So you may not have noticed this category before it may not have shown up if there weren't any recently uninstalled apps that used Any significant amount of data and since you reset your Cellular data statistics every month say that three times fast all accumulated data usage information Is cleared including the data recorded in the uninstalled apps And that's why the category disappears if you reset your data usage and haven't since uninstalled An app that's used any data. So I didn't even realize this feature existed until very recently and so yeah Yeah, right. So yeah, that that it makes sense. It's I'm I'm happy that when I remember when I first saw that and I was pleased that it Kept track of that data like it it puts it in a bucket, but it doesn't just Forget that that data was used during that period I would like it if it remembered which app had used it and maybe just marked the app in parentheses to indicate that It was uninstalled or if you could tap on uninstalled apps and see the the detailed as but but you don't get to see that And my guess is someone at Apple decided that was a privacy violation, right? If you've deleted the app, don't show it to me anywhere else on my phone You promised that all the data related to it was deleted and so yeah That's fair enough
