Ways To Decrease Your Data Usage On Iphone

Mobile data is expensive, and when your iPhone is using too much data, the more bill you w’ll pay to your carrier, to say the least. so today we’ll b explaining how to take control of how your iPhone uses its cellular data connection.

These are five phone wide settings that can help keep you under your monthly data allowance.

1. By disabling cellular app updates.

If your apps update automatically, make sure they do so only when you are on WiFi. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and turn off Use Cellular Data.

2. By disabling background app refresh.

iOS apps can update in the background, grabbing new content as they sit idle so they can show you the latest news when you return to them. To disable this, Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and you can turn this setting off completely or go the a la carte route from the list below and choose which apps update in the background.

3. Disabling Wi-Fi Assist.

Wi-Fi Assist is a great feature where your iPhone hands off a weak Wi-Fi signal to your cellular network to prevent pages from loading slowly or not at all as it clings to the last remnants of a Wi-Fi signal. If you sit on the edge of a Wi-Fi network at work, say, then your cellular network may be assisting more than you’d like and running up data charges.

To disable Wi-Fi Assist, go to Settings > Cellular and scroll all the way to the bottom to turn off Wi-Fi Assist.

4. Disabling iCloud Drive on cellular.

If you use iCloud Drive to shuttle documents in and out of the cloud, those data transfers can add to your bill if they are done over a cellular connection. You can restrict iCloud Drive to Wi-Fi only by going to Settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive and scrolling to the bottom and turning off Use Cellular Data.

5. Download only & don’t stream.

Streaming online for long stretches when you are away from Wi-Fi can quickly add to your data usage. You can restrict streaming to Wi-Fi only, which will then force you into the habit of downloading playlists or podcasts before playing them instead of the easy route of simply streaming them.

With these five tips am sure it w’ll seriously cut back on your iPhone data usage. Please if you have any other tips you can share it with us in the comments thanks.
