trick for Android Phone Using Less Data

Trick For Your Android Phone into Using Less Data

Tip 1: Use Chrome 's " Data Saver " Feature to Browse the Web

you can cut Chrome's data usage in half by enabling a single option

To try it out, tap the three-dot menu button in the top-right corner of Chrome and

                  choose the "Settings" entry. From here, scroll down a bit and select "Data Saver," then toggle the service on. This will use Google's servers to condense your web traffic by as much as 50%, meaning you can browse on mobile data without worrying 

Tip 2: Disable Unwanted Sync Options

One of the easiest ways to conserve data is to disable account syncing options that you don't generally use. To begin, head to your phone's main Settings menu, then select the "Accounts" option and choose any of the listed entries.

  

               Using Google as an example, you'll have to select your Gmail account from the next screen. From here, just untick the boxes next to any service that you don't normally use, and your phone will quit wasting data on something you don't want.

                    

Tip 3: Set a Mobile Data Limit & Warning Threshold

Android has a nice data usage warning and limit system that can be a lifesaver in some cases. To enable this feature, head to the "Data usage" menu in Settings, then toggle the switch next to the "Set cellular data limit" option. From here, use the top slider to set your max data limit for a given month, then use the bottom slider to set a

warning threshold.

Tip 4: Restrict Background Data

If you'd prefer that none of your apps waste data when you're not actively using them,

there's an easy fix. From the same "Data usage" menu in Settings, tap the three-dot

menu button in the top-right corner and select "Restrict background data," then press

"OK." This will force all of your apps to cut back on data usage when they're running

in the background, but the downside is that your notifications may be delayed a little

bit.

Tip 5: Identify Data- Sucking Apps

Some apps are coded more efficiently than others, and some have a propensity to eat

up more data than they should. While you're in the "Date usage" menu, scroll down a

bit and you'll see a list of your apps ordered by how much data they've used this

month.

If there's an app that has been using way more data than you think it should, it might

be time to consider uninstalling it and replacing the app with a more efficient

alternative. If your worst offenders are apps that you simply can't live without, you

can select them from this list, then toggle the "Restrict background data" switch on to

reduce their data usage individually.

Tip 6: Restrict Data in Individual Apps

A lot of times, Android's "Data usage" menu isn't the only way to restrict data usage

for an app. Some apps include their own sync and data options, which can be

accessed through the app's settings menu. With the Google Photos app, for instance,

you can head to "Settings," then "Back up & sync" to view some data saving options.

Since this app will automatically back up your pictures and videos, you can choose

the "Back up photos" option from this menu and select "Over Wi-Fi only" to prevent

the app from wasting your mobile data when it's performing backups. Apps with

similar functionality should have a similar option, so be sure to check through the

settings menus in all of your cloud-based and streaming music or video apps.
