Where to Start!
Whether you're on an unlimited data plan and just burnt through all your high-speed data, or have a limited bucket of data and need to micro-manage your usage, these tips will help you get started and stay on top of your usage.
What's using my data?
First, we'll want to get an overview of what is using up all that data via the following steps:
You should now see an overview of all the apps using mobile data on your device and adjust your usage patterns accordingly. For example, if a video streaming application is using most of your data, then restrict your streaming to only when you're connected to Wi-Fi or pre-download the shows/movies you want to watch on the go.
The Nuclear Option
If you can't afford to have a single extra megabyte more using up data then this will put an immediate halt on all Mobile Data usage until you say so!
A multipronged approach
In addition to the above here are a few other things to consider:
Disable Auto-Play for videos on your Social Media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, etc.)
|
Pre-download your music, tv shows, or videos when on Wi-Fi
|
Be very vigilant with your usage when using your phone as a Hot Spot! |
Try to close apps when you're done with them
|
When it comes to apps & system upgrades, only update over Wi-Fi |
Turn off Wi-Fi Assist! Check out this article on how to go about doing that & learn more about the feature. |
Hope these tips help, we will try to update these from time to time but feel free to add your suggestions in the comments section below.
Cheers 🙂
