maybe think of it like water flowing through pipes:
Apps, websites, videos, and maps are taps that use water.
When you open an app or load a webpage, data flows from the internet to your phone (downloading).
When you send a photo, message, or upload something, data flows from your phone to the internet (uploading).
Your mobile plan gives you a certain amount of water (data).
