If I use my home wi-fi connection on my smartphone, will that use any of my data?
I'm new to the smartphone world, so please relieve me from any grief, and feel free to assume that I don't know ANNNNY thing.
I have a Galaxy S5, and had this for 2-3 months now. In a span of 7 days (recently ) i've used 5 WHOLE GB! FIVE GB! I believe around this time, I realize that I wasn't using my home connection (an accident) i'm using it again. Is this the reason why i've lost 5GB in 5 days? That and... besides using YouTube a whole lot.

Not quite sure what you mean by 'any of my data', but:
- If your phone uses the mobile aka. cellular data service to download content, that comes out of your mobile internet data allowance.
- If your phone (or any other internet device) uses your home internet connection to download content, that comes out of your home internet data allowance.
Usually mobile data is more expensive and probably has a lower data allowance limit (as well as being slower etc.), so it s normally a good idea to set up your phone and other mobile devices so that they use a Wi-Fi/WLAN connection where available, and only use mobile data when outside.
