Windows Phone Twitter integration runs wild with usage Oct 25th 2013, 15:15, by Ian Paul Sometimes when a cloud service makes a back-end change it breaks an app, but at least it doesn't break your bank. Not so for Windows Phone, as some users are reporting increased data usage linked to a server migration currently underway at Twitter. The migration, as reported by The Verge, is causing the built-in Twitter functionality for Windows Phone's People hub to download Twitter profile images several times a day. The issue is not affecting all Windows Phone users, so your mileage may vary. At its worst, users are reporting around 400 to 500MB of wireless data usage over wireless, with one user reporting usage as high as 530MB. The Verge said one of its Windows Phone devices used more than 300MB of cellular data and a whopping 3GB over Wi-Fi in just one week. Any Windows Phone users with limited data caps of 1GB or less would be well advised to make sure this problem hasn't pushed you over the usage limit for the month.
