wow, you're right, it used more than binance

but did you use shopee to get the free coins? probably every time you access the app, it downloads massive files.

furthermore how much data are we talking about. for me it's 460mb this month alone

in the first post when you said you didn't buy anything and shopee still uses data, i'm assuming that you check the daily use?

when data use sort according to day. mine was consistent though. i didn't use shopee today (yet) and it didn't show any data used today for shopee app.

shopee app do have background notifications, that could be the cause of data usage too

My highest usage is Brave Browser "Private Mode" of course
Watch too much prawn brows.gif

But I do agree with TS, Shopee is highest for apps not including Chrome, play store , etc

Shopee I think loads a hecking lot of photos. Browsing shopee for 30 minutes makes my phone become warm, even warmer than when I play games on the phone.

Check for notification in shopee app > account settings > notification > push notifications.

I disable those irrelevant to me like chats, promo, livestream, feed. I think chats especially use many data.
