| Five Tips on Saving your Mobile Data Consumption |
1.Compressing Chrome Pages:
Chrome is the best Mobile browser on a Android device, however Chrome is almost the top Web Browser which eats up more data plan than any other Mobile browser does. Quality and Speed are Chrome's best attributes, so people love using it, but many of us don't know that Chrome eats up maximum plan from our Carrier's Data. So their is a need to cut the data into half, Isn't it?
Assuming you use Chrome for all your web browsing via mobile, the following tip can reduce your mobile data consumption from chrome.
So head on to Settings of Chrome(Mobile) and then Check for Data Saver by default it would be off, turn it On that's it.
 |
| Go to Settings Of Chrome |
 |
| Turn the Data Saver ON |
Chrome>>Settings>>Data Saver>> Turn it on.
2. Restrict Background Data:
So Did you ever experience your Mobile Data getting used, though you are not actually using it. Well the easiest way to save data is to tell your apps to restrict background data; things like email synchronization, feeds updating, weather widgets etc etc receive data all time and use up your Mobile Data. So Restricting Background Data tells the Android system to restrict Background Data i.e telling the Android System not to allow any app to use Internet Traffic in Background processes.

To restrict Background App Data head on to Settings and then to Data Usage, tap the three dots in right corner of browser.
Settings>>Data Usage>> Three Dots in Right corner>> Tap restrict Background Data
3. Replace Facebook app:
Seriously Facebook is a huge app not only in size but in-terms of data consumption, it's very well known to everyone that Facebook is one of the worst contributors to Android/Apple/ or any other OS, well many people say this because Facebook not only eats your mobile data but also drains up your battery power. So do you think replacing Facebook App will assure a great battery and cut off Mobile data usage, Umm! Obviously Yes! Apps like Facebook lite are really doing great work in reducing up Data consumption but however Facebook lite also ends up with data consumption of MB in a month, so No Facebook Lite.
How about simply adding Facebook on your Homescreen via Chrome, yup that's a good idea simply head on to Chrome and then login to your Facebook profile and then click the three dots in the right corner and check for Add to Home Screen and that's it browse via chrome and if you switch on Data Saver (see method 1) the results would be very good.
Chrome>>Login to facebook>> Tap right hand side three dots>> tap on Add to Homescreen.
Chrome>>Login to facebook>> Tap right hand side three dots>> tap on Add to Homescreen.
 |
| Open Facebook from your Chrome browser |
Or Why not try Tinfoil for Facebook, which is simply a web app that displays Facebook website.

| Get TinFoil Facebook from PlayStore |
4. Disabling Auto - Updates Apps:
Another huge drain of your data comes from Google Play Store and this will really put you in frustration if you've got the Play Store set to auto-upload apps, even over Data Connection.
So to prevent the state of frustration head on Play Store and tap on left hand navigation drawer. Tap settings and you can see the very first option available "Auto Update Apps" tap on it and Check if the tick mark is set for Update Apps over Wifi Only.
Play Store>> Tap on Navigation drawer in the left>>Settings>>Auto-Updates Apps>>Check for Auto-Updates Apps over Wifi only.
5.Downloading is better than Streaming:
Well I wouldn't have suggested you this tip but when I was done with my practical implant, I thought this tip is worth sharing. Streaming services like YouTube, Soundcloud, Spotify, Vine etc etc have more affinity towards Data Plans and especially when you listen/watch them constantly. It's a better idea to download or add them to offline so that you can watch/listen em later.
