<\/a><\/div><\/div>As user want to always have extra data to help them connect wheneve they want, hence they want to control the amount of data that is burnt to achieve their purposes on their mobile devices. Today, we take you on a journey that seek to arm you with ways of being inn contol of your data on Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let us show you some of the best tips for conserving\u00a0data consumption and making your limited internet last longer, all without murdering your experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Turn on data compression on Chrome!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Most of you are probably Android supporters. And hence, you are also likely Chrome users. Did you know Google\u2019s popular browser has a feature that can reduce data consumption significantly? Google states this option should save you about 50% in data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All without you even feeling a difference. In fact, you may feel some changes\u00a0\u2013 browsing will get faster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Chrome\u2019s data compression option does is route all your web browsing through Google\u2019s servers. The Search Giant then takes the website\u2019s data, compresses it, optimizes it for the smaller screen and sends it back to your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All you have to do is open Chrome, tap on the 3-dot menu button and select Settings<\/em>. Click on Data Saver<\/em> and then toggle the option in the top-right corner. You are done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google\u2019s data compression feature is awesome and all, but it only works within Chrome. What about all the other apps? They sure are spending a lot of precious internet juice. Those who want system-wide compression can have it with Opera Max, a data management app which comes from a major Chrome competitor \u2013 Opera (duh).<\/p>\n\n\n\n This application is pretty awesome, as it essentially does the same as Chrome\u2019s data compression, but for every single app in your smartphone. As a result, the user\u00a0can save about 50% data on everything they\u00a0do with their devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is also possible to micro manage consumption by blocking specific apps from accessing data through mobile access (or WiFi, though I don\u2019t see the point in that). The Opera Max home page will then show you a detailed description of how much data you have been saving. Those megabytes sure add up quickly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some apps just spend too much data, even when the smartphone is not in use. It\u2019s actually one of the greatest features on Android, as background data allows you to keep everything updated and monitored while you are off doing other things. The deal here is that not every app\u00a0needs to stay active at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go into Settings > Data Usage<\/em> and select the app you want to restrict data for. In the stats you will see two types of data: foreground and background. If you find background data is too high and you don\u2019t need the app to stay active, simple toggle the switch that is labeled as \u201cRestrict app background data\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This one is a bit of an obvious one for many of us, but plenty of users out there continue updating their applications over cellular connections. This is OK if you choose to do it, but how many times have you noticed all your apps were auto-updated without your consent, spending all them precious GBs<\/em>? Hopefully not too often, but if this is an issue, we can show you how to stop it from happening again.<\/p>2. Download Opera Max<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
