Digital Touch Data Usage?

[JUiCEJamie]

Does anybody know how much a simple drawing takes in terms of data? A few bites like an iMessage? Or maybe more?

Since Apple Watch, my 5GB data allowance a month has been running over. (Best part of 6GB). Is this because of Digital Touch, which I do use a lot?

Can't find a thread about this..

There are a lot of other things you gotta check before you blame digital touch for your loss of data. There's no way that it's a fault of digital touch.

Like? I've been on this forum for around 4 years, so I know when and when not to just blast another thread somewhere.. This was a genuine question, and I've look at other avenues before I thought this.

The watch connects via Bluetooth for everything almost, even Digital Touch. But this is only regular thing I'm doing on my watch that I don't do on my phone. And now it's using a lot of data.

Could it be a software update, yes. Could it be my heart rate via Health that's connected to other apps, yes. - Just thought I'd ask.

No one knows yet. Don't get your panties in a bunch. The watch has only been out 3 weeks. Heck most people's data hasn't even reset yet! How do you even know you're over just because of the watch in less than one data cycle?

I'm pretty confident that you could be sending digital touches 24/7 for an entire month and not have it make a dent in your data allowance.

The real question is why are people using digital touch more than once to try it out? It's really awful and very Un-Apple.

I doubt it's very much. You're not transmitting an actual picture, just a code to tell the recipient watch what to draw. I can't imagine this takes up much data.

The digital touch messages are tiny files so no you're tripping man lol
