DataPulseData Accuracy
DataPulse does not present itself as the carrier billing source of truth. The app estimates usage from public network interface counters after user calibration.

- iOS and iPadOS do not provide a public API for exact carrier-billed usage.
- The app does not use private APIs and does not read the private iOS Settings database.
- When carrier-level confidence matters, recalibrate with a value from your carrier, SMS, invoice, or iOS Settings.
How DataPulse works
The user enters current usage from a trusted source. The app stores that value as a calibration point and adds cellular interface-counter usage from that moment forward.
What the app does not do
DataPulse does not read the private iOS Settings database, does not use private APIs, does not behave as a VPN, and does not automatically identify per-SIM/eSIM usage.
Why values may differ
Carrier billing, iOS Settings, public interface counters, roaming, reporting delays, and device restarts may produce different values. The carrier remains the billing source of truth.
