Unknown app using my data

Astronomy is an app that recently appeared in the Cellular Data list. That is the only place it appears. Is not on home screen or anywhere else. No way to open it or delete it or discover anything else about it.

Did you read any of this thread before posting? It has been explained.

You would know there is nothing bizarre about it, had you bother to read the thread before posting

I totally agree this is insane my Privacy has been invaded now since 2015 or longer. My iPhone shows my other devices as android I do not own a Android. And to take it to another level I found all my personal devices on my work computer. To include smart tv’s, echo dots, 5 laptops, personal security system, my AT@T cell and satellite my spectrum internet provider,bank all my personal emails. And I’ve gone through 10 different cell numbers along with resetting my iPhone and there right back! I’m being locked out of my own personal paid account. Let me add I’m no longer employed by the employer that my personal data was on…heck they change my password on my apple account?? It’s insane and a Privacy Violation along with Cyber Security invasion which is a federal crime.

If you used a personal phone for work then legally all data on the phone belongs to your employer. And if you used a work phone for even occasional personal use the same is true. And that includes using your Apple ID on a work phone.

My employer never supplied me with a work phone. This was all personal data that violated my Privacy Rights and they have legal made it Cyber Crime which is a crime. Trust me I’m not that naive or illiterate by any means. The last few years of my life was ****…

If you believe your are the victim of a crime, you need to report it to the police.

Me too. My new Apple 14 always feels hot. I turn about everything off possible. Why does Big Tech make us go through the pain staking task of turning off every possible new bell and whistle. FB and apple are repeat offenders. They constantly do updates which then you have to go through randomly and double check stuff I turned off. It’s not ok for big tech to track, listen and watch our every move. If they are not careful and edit themselves - the world population will wise up and demand change! Enough already. What is this astronomy thing…I found it the same way under cellular data! Freaks me out when I see that. I am constantly checking my phone for spam and spyware!

I just noticed this under my battery usage today. I understand that people are saying it’s a wallpaper but I use my own wallpaper that’s a picture I took, not any of Apple’s wallpapers. Is there a reason it would run if you didn’t have an astrology wallpaper? Or am I misunderstanding something?

Yes me too I have the same issue but I’m positive my phones hacked all my passwords get changed them even locked out of accounts because the turn off my 2 step verification if you know how to get these people out my phone please let me know

Wow! I noticed this too! The “Astronomy” app is only listed under my “cellular” settings and I too can’t seem to find or open the app.

I attached a screenshot of what I see on my phone. Does yours have the same icon as mine?

I’d really appreciate your feedback on what you found out! Idk what to do! Thanks! 😬😅

You know what? You’re not alone in this in the least if that’s any consolation for what you’re experiencing. The weird thing is that I’m going through the same things you are. Large amounts of data being consumed by something. There’s no way that I could use 15GB of data in than two weeks when all I try to use my iPhone 6se anymore for is texting and occasionally I’ll make a phone call. I believe that these push notifications are a bunch of 🤬 and I think you have your suspicions right on time with what we’re experiencing. No one,and I repeat no one should be allowed access to your phone and I was under the impression that Apple stood by that policy thus having one of the largest client base out of all services out there. Thank for your coming out on public forum with your issues and hope you get an explanation of what this invasion of privacy is all about and who is to be held accountable for such? Of course this probably won’t reach the forum for others to read but I’ll see soon enough! 9-17-23

Did you ever get any answers to this? I may have the same thing going on.

Yes. I have no idea what it is or where it is located. This app appeared after updating to iOS 16. Please let me know if and when you find out. I will do the same.

I think it is the Astronomical “earth” screen saver that geolocates.
