Google Play services is responsible for a slew of features on Android devices, and there’s now a way to see how much data is being used.
A recent update to Google Play services introduced a data usage breakdown. Navigate to the App info page for Google Play services (search in the Settings app) > Mobile data usage > App settings.

See the amounts of data that Google Play services have used and which services are using data. This doesn’t include data you use when browsing Google Play or installing apps and games.

Since this page rolled out in mid-September, that’s how far the breakdown extends. Data usage is further separated by Mobile and Wi-Fi. Seeing the difference between the two is interesting, while tapping on each items takes you to a descriptions page.

• Device connections: Used for connecting to other devices, such as a car, watch, or Chromebook
• System management: Used to keep system services up to date and improve device performance
• System diagnostics: Used to collect data about your device and services and improve device experience
• Security: Used for security features such as encrypting passwords, locking your device, blocking spam calls, and locating a lost device
• Wallet: Used to pay for purchases made on this device, including contactless payments
• Developer features

• Contacts: Used to sync your contacts with your Google Account and other devices
• Ads safety: Used to control ad preferences and prevent ad spam
• Fitness: Used for fitness services in apps, such as workout tracking and sharing data with other fitness apps
• General
• Account management: Used for secure sign-in and better control of your Google Account
• Support: Used for features such as device setup, providing feedback to Google, and contacting Google support
• Autofill with Google: Used to fill in your info, such as passwords and payment methods
• Location sharing: Used when you share your location with others
