What are the data usages our phone does when we keep the mobile data still on even when we are not using the phone?

App updates if you have that setting on. Email and other apps synchronizing, otherwise you wouldn’t know you have a new email. For text messaging, if you’re actually using SMS that’s a sideband and doesn’t count towards your data but if you send MMS messages or use a third party text messenger such as Google messages which uses RCS then all or a portion of those go through the data part of your phone especially if you’re sending a text message. Lots of apps work in the background, you can see which apps do by going into your battery settings and see that there’s a setting to reduce background data usage for each app.
