How Much Data Does YouTube Use?
Whether you’re watching because your favourite vlogger dropped a new video, or you’re stuck on the side of the road learning how to change a tire - those videos are costing you data.
How much data YouTube will use depends on the quality of your video playback. Watching a YouTube video at the standard 480p uses around 260MB per hour, while Full HD viewing can chew through 1.65GB. 4K video playback on YouTube will use as much as 2.7GB of data every hour.
