How do I see data usage per device?
Somehow my data usage has tripled but, as far as I know, I haven’t changed any of my internet habits. Where in the Nighthawk app can I find data usage per device, day, or hour?
The main devices I use for content browsing are 2 Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, 2 Samsung TV, a MacBook and a Dell laptop. The tv and AppleTV are never in use at the same time.
I also have numerous smart plugs/switches. And an Ecobee thermostat.
Thank for any help or advice to cut my data usage.

I may have found the culprit: Apple Podcast. Apparently the default setting is to download the latest 5 episodes and I subscribe to several news programs that update hourly. So I assume, Apple Podcast was downloading everything on several devices.
In the past, Apple Podcast filled up my phone storage, never had it used all my internet data.
