You don&#8217;t need to turn on your mobile data 24\/7, especially when you&#8217;re sleeping or driving. This will reduce the data usage. So, if you&#8217;re not in an urgent case to use the Internet, just turn it off. <strong>Second<\/strong>, download offline maps when traveling. With Google Maps, you can cache the maps on your phone. When it&#8217;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 &#8221; ok maps&#8221; in the search bar.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p>The<strong> third<\/strong> 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\u00a0\u2018Restrict background data\u2019 option. <strong>Fourth<\/strong>, 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&#8217;re connected to Wifi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"floatclear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"floatclear\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/My_Data_Tracker_Screen_Shot_2.webp 640w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/My_Data_Tracker_Screen_Shot_2-300x162.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/My_Data_Tracker_Screen_Shot_2.png\" height=\"346\" width=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/My_Data_Tracker_Screen_Shot_2.png 640w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/My_Data_Tracker_Screen_Shot_2-300x162.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18866 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"My_Data_Tracker_Screen_Shot_2\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"modfloat right\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"modfloat right\">\n<div id=\"mod_25580487\" class=\"module moduleImage\">\n<div id=\"imgs_25580487\">\n<div id=\"img_url_8754053\" class=\"inline_hub_image fullWidth\" data-mdi-id=\"6830557\" data-image-id=\"8754053\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"img_desc_8754053\" class=\"caption_half\"><strong>Fifth<\/strong>, keep a tab on data usage. You can keep track on your cellular data. This will help you to know how much data an app uses and which app uses the most. You can limit your data usage and set up a warning. When you use your data to a certain level which can be adjusted, your phone will give you a warning sign. <strong>Sixth<\/strong>,\u00a0use Wifi to update Apps. Go to the Play Store (Android phone) &gt; Settings &gt; Auto-update apps &gt;\u00a0Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only. It will help you to reduce the data of your mobile.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"modfloat full\">Data compression<\/h3>\n<div class=\"floatclear\"><strong>Last<\/strong> but not least, data compression. Your data may be used up when browsing some websites. These webs will eat up your data through some heavy advertisements. So, what to do? The answer is using browsers which let data be compressed. Chrome and Opera are two of those browsers offering this feature. This tip can help you a lot in preventing mobile data over usage.<\/div>\n<div class=\"modfloat full\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"31e97817518902a1d132cf665aa26f91\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_bottom -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7613953952\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your mobile data is exhausted very fast.
