Data saving

[Lovrodian]

Does anyone have a recommendation on saving data??

(1) Turn off "Background App Refresh".

(2)Under "Cellular Data" Disable apps that are not important to be using data..

(3) Turn off "Auto updates". 

(4) Disable - "When wifi reception poor use Data"

Tips: Avoid high-data heavy apps such as: YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or any apps that have videos. Videos require a lot of data. If you do want to watch videos while on data, some apps have a data saver mode on them. If not, just set the video quality to the lowest one. 

Also avoid downloading apps while on data.

Hope this helps!

@Lovrodian 

best thing to do first is to enable Data Saver on your phone. 

and make sure you disable app store app update on Mobile data.  

Also, disable Wifi Assist

Hello @Lovrodian 

I usually turn my mobile data off because I have WiFi at home and work. I only turn it on when I want to use it then I turn it off when I'm done. It saves me a ton of my data so I don't run out. There are apps you can get that will monitor your usage and warn you when your limit is close to up. Some phones do that too actually. Might want to look into that.

@Lovrodian  you mean saving data as in when you are running low?

If so, turn off mobile data in settings when at home or work and connect to Wi-Fi. 

You would have to remember to turn back on each time to receive or send mms.

You can also put a data limiter in your phone settings.  You can set it to warn you at say 50%, 75%. That way you can monitor how much you use each day until renewal.
