Save Your Mobile Data In 11 Easy And Smart Ways
If you’re on a limited mobile data plan, you may find opening your bill to be harrowing experience. Is there an overage charge? How much? And why was there so much data used? While the charges are concrete, the reasons are often harder to understand.
Are you trying to make the best out of your precious megabytes? Let us show you some of the best tips for conserving data consumption and making your limited internet last longer, all without murdering your experience!.
1. Restrict Background Data.
Some apps just spend too much data, even when the smartphone is not in use. It’s actually one of the greatest features on Android, as background data allows you to keep everything updated and monitored while you are off doing other things. The deal here is that not every app needs to stay active at all times.
Go to Settings > Data Usage and select the app you want to restrict data for. In the stats you will see two types of data: foreground and background. If you find background data is too high and you don’t need the app to stay active, simple toggle the switch that is labeled as “Restrict app background data”.
2. Update Apps Only Via WiFi.[if wifi Connection Available ]
This one is a bit of an obvious one for many of us, but plenty of users out there continue updating their applications over cellular connections. This is OK if you choose to do it, but how many times have you noticed all your apps were auto-updated without your consent, spending all them precious GBs? Hopefully not too often, but if this is an issue, we canshow you how to stop it from happening again.Just open the Google Play Store and tap on the hamburger menu button (three horizontal lines parallel to each other). Hit the Settings option and then select the “Auto-update apps” button. Hit “Auto-update apps over WiFi only”.
3. Use A Data Monitor To Keep An Eye On Usage.
Use Data monitor apps to monitor your data usage. Android added a built-in data monitor into Android 4.0. It can be accessed through Settings -> Data Usage and will show you how data has been used per-app and overall. Tapping on an app in this menu will open its data usage settings if any are available.
Once you have a data monitor, you’ll be able to see what apps are data hogs. Once that is known, those apps can have their data access curtailed or can be un-installed completely. You can also keep an eye on yourself – perhaps data is being used by obsessive YouTube streaming!
4. Avoid Streaming Content.
As much as we hate it, it is the awesome stuff that uses up the most data. This includes streaming videos and music, as well as looking through high quality images or GIF files. Try to avoid these at all costs if you really want to take care of your internet usage. Now, we know a smartphone is worthless without your media, but there are ways to stay entertained responsibly. Users can option for storing music and videos locally. If you absolutely must stream, make sure you jump into the settings and set quality at lower rates. Like wise, you can decrease resolution in YouTube and other video streaming apps.
5. Cache everything you can!.
Certain apps allow for storing data locally. These include popular ones like Google Maps and GooglePlay Music. Make sure you cache as much content as you can while you are on a WiFi network. Then you can go out and enjoy your content without spending any of your precious data.
6. Download Opera Max.
Google’s data compression feature is awesome and all, but it only works within Chrome. What about all the other apps? They sure are spending a lot of precious internet juice. Those who want system-wide compression can have it with Opera Max, a data management app which comes from a major Chrome competitor – Opera. This application is pretty awesome, as it essentially does the same as Chrome’s data compression, but for every single app in your smartphone. As a result, the user can save about 50% data on everything they do with their devices.It is also possible to micro manage consumption by blocking specific apps from accessing data through mobile access (or WiFi, though I don’t see the point in that). The Opera Max home page will then show you a detailed description of how much data you have been saving. Those megabytes sure add up quickly!
7. Turn On Data Compression On Chrome!.
Most of you are probably Android supporters. And hence, you are also likely Chrome users. Did you know Google’s popular browser has a feature that can reduce data consumption significantly? Google states this option should save you about 50% in data. All without you even feeling a difference. In fact, you may feel some changes – browsing will get faster!What Chrome’s data compression option does is route all your web browsing through Google’s servers. The Search Giant then takes the website’s data, compresses it, optimizes it for the smaller screen and sends it back to your device. All you have to do is open Chrome, tap on the 3-dot menu button and select Settings. Click on Data Saver and then toggle the option int he top-right corner. You are done!
8. Don't Forget to Turn Off Data
Turn off Data when you are not doing any thing in your phone,becouse smart phones flow data in background some apps like playstore,whatsapp and other apps eats your precious data Continuesly.
9. Using Rooted Device.
If You are using Rooted Device then install app called App Prevent from xposed installer this app helps Prevents apps auto lounching. Some apps boot automatically in android this app help disable it just install app and select apps which you want to prevent auto start. Controlling apps means controlling Data.
10. Disable Push Content
Push contentis any data that’s automatically “pushed” to your phone without user interaction. It isn’t a data hog during normal use, but not everyone’s usage is normal. A high volume of emails or constant use of multiple social networks may slowly and steadily put data use at dangerous levels.
Android users with a 4.0 or better device can disable push content per-app through the Data Usage menu we already mentioned. Just tap on an app in that menu, then tap the View App Settings button. Users can also change the sync settings of Facebook, Google and other accounts by going to Settings -> Accounts or Settings -> Accounts and Sync (on pre-4.0 devices).
11. Whatsapp data Usage
