Native OS Tools (iOS &amp; Android) \u2013 The Most Underrated Power Tool<\/h2>\n<p>As a developer, I always start with what\u2019s already on the device. And honestly?

My Data Manager \u2013 The Veteran Tracker<\/h2>\n<p>This app has been around forever, and for good reason\u2014it just works.<\/p>\n<p>What makes <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/my-data-manager-vpn-security\/id477865384\"><strong>My Data Manager<\/strong><\/a> powerful is its ability to track <strong>historical usage<\/strong> and break down data consumption <strong>per app<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>During a trip to Nice, I used it to figure out why my data kept disappearing overnight.
