Apple Watch Ultra 4 data usage increased after update

I’ve just upgraded my Apple Watch to the Ultra 4 and the iOS 27 update, since doing these my data usage has jumped from 1GB a month to 1GB every 2 days!

I do not have mobile service from my watch.

I’ve checked my app data usage and can’t see anything unusual there. Any ideas??

Not every issue an individual encounters on their device can be attributed to an iOS update. If the update itself were the root cause, then every device running that same version of iOS would exhibit the identical problem. In such a scenario, the forums would be flooded with countless posts reporting the same malfunction, creating an unmistakable wave of complaints that no one could possibly overlook. The absence of such widespread reports strongly indicates that the issue is not systemic, but rather specific to the device in question.
