I installed that Data Usage Manager & Traffic Monitor app.
It asked me to give "Data Counter Widget" permission for usage settings.
Then it told me to create a "Data Counter Widget."
It then asked when my cellular billing cycle starts.
Then it allowed me to "add widget" to my homescreen.

The widget is kind of nice, but not necessarily what I asked for.
The "Data counter widget" shows daily, monthly, weekly data usage.
It shows usage per app or for the entire device.
Somehow it had data all the way back to June.
It breaks mobile and Wi-Fi into two categories (which is useful).
It can update the widget as frequently as 1 minute or as slow as 1 hour.
It has a real-time "Internet speed" meter (a graph) & Speedtest.
It has the option to split roaming (which I always have turned on).
And it has the option to split upload/download size reporting.
It's all a bit confusing at the moment, but it looks like a nice app.
What it does, for sure, is tell you how much wifi/cellular data you use.
Over time.
What I'm not sure it does is "instantaneous" reporting of whether, at this
very instant, whether I'm using Wi-Fi or Cellular data though, which is what
I wanted.
