India Lockdown: Quick Tips To Save Mobile Data For Android Users

Maybe you’re complying with the lockdown order from the government and reading this on a smartphone. It’s likely that you'll be connecting your phone to a Wi-Fi network, but sometimes it’s out of range without your consent. Once this situation happens, your mobile data can be eaten up in a matter of minutes. 

Instead of suddenly realizing that apps or other issues drain your data, it’s better to limit all the risk and control your data usage as soon as possible. Here’re four ways you can do on Android devices. 

1. Connect to Wi-Fi frequently 

The easiest way to save data on your Android device is to connect to Wi-Fi as often as possible to avoid using unnecessary data. If you're doing something on your Android device that requires a lot of data, like streaming videos or performing app updates, connected to Wi-Fi will save you a lot of data in the long run. 

2. Use streaming apps in moderation

If you’re a film lover or you’re addicted to watching videos on YouTube, the fact of the matter is that these heavy-data apps will consume a lot of data. Here’re some solutions to meet your needs: You’re better off using them or switching to a computer/laptop or make sure that there’s a secure Wi-Fi network within your reach. 

3. Limit data usage for specific apps

Setting a limit for data usage of specific apps will help you save data a lot. This disables some features that run in the background when you’ve gotten back to the home screen. What’s more, you even can take more extreme measures on Android smartphones by heading to Settings and set a data limit for your device. 

4. Turn on Data Saver Mode

The Data saver mode on Android devices also keeps you away from running out of mobile data. In short, it completely stops all data usage on your phone by not allowing them to consume data in the background. However, this can affect some functions of the apps you’re experiencing on the phone.
