Turn off mobile data when not in use

The first tip you need to know is to turn mobile data off when not using. You don’t need to turn on your mobile data 24/7, especially when you’re sleeping or driving. This will reduce the data usage. So, if you’re not in an urgent case to use the Internet, just turn it off. Second, download offline maps when traveling. With Google Maps, you can cache the maps on your phone. When it’s done, you can use it for the navigation. All you need to do is zoom to the area of the map which you want to cache, and then type ” ok maps” in the search bar.

The third tip is data restriction. You may not notice that apps running in the background can use up your data. Some smartphones using Android 4.0 and above can allow you to check which apps are running. Go to Data Usage and choose the app listed there. All you need to do is put a check in the ‘Restrict background data’ option. Fourth, only download large files over Wifi. Some large files like songs or videos will cost you a lot of data when downloading. So, just do this download thing when you’re connected to Wifi.
