Most of us have been complaining about the over consumption of data by this app.Today I’ve got a solution to that.

leave it in automatic mode or deactivate it ,by doing this you can use 1GB for almost 4 hrs. Though you may not get the exact quality u want but at least it has helped u allot in saving large amount of data.

5. Youtube: HD videos.

We all know that Youtube is a site where you can only get videos to watch or download and nothing more.

After watching a movie that last for 1 or 2 hrs plus , nowadays after watching the first one it will take you to the next one without clicking it and you will not be told that you’re only left with little m.b …..lol

I’ve found a stressless solution to that,which gives u the option to only play videos in HD when connected to wi-fi.

4. Spotify: offline mode .

Allot of people today uses spotify for their music needs because it’s cool( like about 75m in the world) and the larger percent of them streams online when they listen to their playlist especially when you put it on repeat and you,are just enjoying it not knowing that your data is disappearing bit by bit.

The simple thing you have to do is that on each of the album or playlist ,switch to “ Availble offline” ,by switching this, it will automatically download that particular playlist u are listening to, so you don’t need to be conneted to the internet again.I hope this will help to save your data.

3. Chrome: compressing pages.

When using chrome(google chrome) on mobile there is an option that says reduce data

This features will compress the pages u visit. That is to say your browsing speed will reduce a bit ,but to me I think it worth it in the long run.
