My gf iphone kept on uploading data and I can't tell why
her usual data usuage is around 200MB per month, this month it shot up to 2GB+
so I downloaded a data monitor app and notice her phone kept on uploading data automatically (not much downloading)

weird thing is also it tends to use up all the bandwidth mostly at around 11pm-12pm only. (when her iphone is connected to the home wi-fi, the network speed will slow to a crawl...e.g 500ms+ ping, 0.50Mbs instead of <9ms ping and 7MBs)
I know it is her phone cause once I shut off her wi-fi, everything goes back to normal.

Is there anyway to know what is causing the network usage? I pretty much deleted every single one of her apps on the phone but the problem still persist

Is there any data monitor apps that will tell you where and what apps the traffic is coming from?

Thanks for help!!!
