If your iPad's cellular data usage is higher than expected, check this setting.

Open the

Settings app

on your Apple® iPad®.

Tap

Cellular Data

Tap the

Wi-Fi Assist switch

to turn on or off.

Wi-Fi Assist is turned on by default.

Wi-Fi Assist enables the device to automatically switch to cellular data when Wi-Fi coverage is poor and switch back to Wi-Fi when the Wi-Fi signal improves.

Wi-Fi Assist is compatible with any iOS device on iOS 9 or later, except for these models: iPad 2 Wi-Fi+Cellular, iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi+Cellular, and iPad mini (1st generation) Wi-Fi+Cellular.
