How Much Data Is Used in a FaceTime Call
FaceTime is a great way for iPhone users to make video calls, but if you’ve ever wondered how much data is eaten when you do this, Calling All Geeks has checked a few numbers.
It turns out a little. On an older iPhone 4 on 3G, a 10-minute call consumed about 30MB of data. This should be slightly improved on newer phones as well as the newest version of iOS. Our tests with the iPhone 6s showed that the total memory for ten minutes of talk is about 25MB. However, the real takeaway is that FaceTime doesn’t seem to take up a lot of data, so you can use it quite often without killing your data plan. Of course, you can always track data usage for each app by going to Settings> Cellular and then scrolling down to the app you’re interested in. Just like the reader mrbofus points out , you can simply go to the recent calls section and press “i” to get the amount of data used in each specific call.
