Every time I plug my iPhone to charge, internet slows down...why?

[The.316]

Every time I plug in my iPhone to charge, it takes up all my bandwidth for some reason. Why does it do that? I always thought I had a problem with my wifi, but I noticed this a little while ago. When I put my phone on airplane mode, and plug it in to charge, all is well. But when I charge it normally, it slows my internet down to a snails pace. I dont have wifi sync checked, the phone is up to date, so I cant really understand why it does that. Thought maybe someone has experienced the same thing, or at least understands why it does this.

Might be background app refresh/update? Or Mail fetch?

You may have wifi synch to iTunes enabled.

That is what I think/thought it was. What I did was every time I plugged the phone in, or ipad for the matter (did the same thing), I would turn it to Airplane mode, and then my network went back to normal. The apps are all up to date though.

You may have wifi synch to iTunes enabled.

One of the first things I did was make sure that was unchecked.

It could be iCloud backup using all your bandwidth.
