It's available on both the main app screen, or you can check it out via the data usage home screen widget.
In addition to overall data usage info, the update also lets users see which apps are using the most data on their device. This might come in handy if you are on a plan with a limited amount of data, so you can close apps that might be using a lot of your bandwidth but which might not be ones that you are currently interacting with at the time. The app will also sent out an alert if your data usage reaches a certain threshold. You also have the option of going into your phone' settings so when it reaches a certain data cap, any cellular data on your phone will turn off automatically.
It's actually very cool that Google has added such a handy way to keep track of your Project Fi data. If you are subscribed to the service, what do you think of this new feature?
