Just switched to iphone 6 and the data usage is off the charts. I have 2 gigs of data and have almost used 5 and still have 11 days left. Obviously something is running in the background that I'm not aware of. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Make sure you turn off Mobile Data when you have wifi.  iPhones, as you might know, revert to Mobile Data during idle periods.

Looks like instagram is the highest!  Just uninstalled.  Hopefully this will fix the problem.
