Data is the oxygen of a phone. While it's true that is expensive in Nigeria, it's equally correct that we overuse data in the country. Even though some of these plans are advertised as unlimited, it has a cutoff point where your data slows down extremely. So, how do you save data on your phone?
1. Set A Data Limit:
Setting a data limit on your phone will help you keep track of your usage whole alerting immediately you are close to your limit. You can set a limit which your phone won't be able to use data.
Go to Settings
Go to “Network & internet” > “Data usage” > “Data warning & limit”
Tap on “App data usage cycle.” This will let you set the day that your account starts its monthly cycle.
Back up and toggle “Set data warning” on. You can then enter the data limit: 4GB, for example.
2. Use Data Saver: if you use Android 8.0 or later, your phone should come with a function which your phone won't be able to stream any data in the background if you're not on WIFI. You can simply pull down your notification panel to switch on this function.
3. Use Data Management Apps: Data management apps will help you manage and save data better. They help you see how much data you've used and a more detailed information about your data usage. You can use Google's Datally or my Data Manager.
