My iPhone 14plus keeps using mb data no matter if my Personal hotspot, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is switched off?
it shows up when you click on Personal Hotspot as “Other Devices” Sometimes 500mb and I’m on a pre paid limit and can’t afford to lose that. Any ideas?
iPhone 14 Plus, iOS 17
Totally same. Crazy. Just noticed this “bug” or whatever whilst sitting on a train. No devices with me, personal hotspot in the mobile service.. shooting up gigs of data when everything is off. Totally crazy.

Thanks SravanKraA,
But my point is the Personal Hotspot is OFF as is Bluetooth & Wi-Fi. So how is it connecting? And it’s connecting just sitting in my home without a tv on or in my car just driving along??? It never happened before this iphone14 and is draining my data limit? Anyone from Apple can explain?
The "other devices" in your iPhone's personal hotspot usage typically refers to any devices that have connected to your hotspot to use your phone's internet connection. Even if you don't use a computer, laptop, or tablet, other devices like another smartphone, a gaming console, or even a smart TV could have connected to your iPhone's hotspot, consuming data.
See the pic below. Samsung here indicates Samsung TV
