Triggering this command will erase your cellular statistics including the amount of data that you’ve used since the last reset as well as the call time duration, and individual app statistics. This reset does not affect any of your data or iPhone content. That said, all your current settings and content remain as is. The phone’s mobile carrier functionality and account information are likewise not affected.
When to reset cellular data stats on your iPhone?
Resetting cellular data usage statistics regularly is recommended, preferably every month so you can get a more accurate overview of your iPhone’s data usage.
This reset needs to be performed consistently to prevent your iPhone from keeping track of your data usage since the first time the service was activated. Doing so makes your stats correspond to your cellular plan billing period.
Performing this reset can also help resolve issues affecting mobile data apps.

Cellular data usage on an iPhone does not reset automatically because there’s no available option or setting to do so. Having said that, your iPhone continues to record mobile data usage stats until you decide to carry out a manual reset.

The following steps are also applicable to other iPhones that are running on the same iOS version with the iPhone 13 variants. However, there might be some slight variations on the actual screens and menu items between devices.
Just refer to these steps whenever you’re all set to carry out this iPhone reset.
Step 1: From the Home screen, tap Settings to launch the Settings app.
Step 2: While on the Settings menu, tap Cellular.
Step 3: On the Cellular data menu, scroll down to the bottom of the list and then tap the option to Reset Statistics.
Step 4: If prompted, read the pop-up message then tap Reset Statistics to confirm.
The cellular network data usage meter on your iPhone will then be restored to zero.
Among the data that are restored to default values in this reset include data usage stats, app data usage stats, call time stats, and system service stats.
