Is there a way to track wifi usage per app on iOS device?

[Zangmonkey]

I noticed a huge amount of uploads to Internet on my network around 25GB per day. I tracked it down to the kid's iPad. I am certain that there's a rogue app on here pushing out data to the cloud but I don't know which.

I can factory reset it but that doesn't answer my question.

I want to know which app is using wifi bandwidth. There's a built in feature to do this for cellular but not for Wi-Fi.

this might work for you, does cell and wifi, and says "free"... needs ios 14+ though.

This doesn't appear to address the problem. I want to know which app, specifically, is generating traffic.

If it were me, I'd take a pcap on the router for everything from the iPad. Count traffic by IP, then figure out what the big IPs are.

That's assuming iPadOS doesn't have a data usage breakdown for wifi, which would be way easier. Search settings for data usage would be my guess?

That screenshot looks promising but that function doesn't actually seem to be in the app. I don't have any "App Tracker" button there
