why does my facebook say restricted under data usage?

[harrison03]

For some reason my phone is using a lot of data when I only use the internet when I'm at home and its connected to our internet.  I checked on my phone under data usage to see where it is all going and everything is using very little data except under facebook it doesnt give me an amount used, instead it says restricted?  I can use facebook but its very limited.  Does anyone know what is going on?

Thanks,

Lori

FB is set to restrict background data maybe?  If so, it only uses data when in the forefront, or while using it.  Check to see and disable if need be under your settings then Mobile Data and scroll down to FB and tap it.  Should see a box stating Restrict Background Data.
