mobile DTOs. We never have enough. Here’s how to save them to the maximum in any Android device

These are the steps to follow.

Control consumption data guardians connection

The data consumption is inevitable if you want to enjoy your apps connected away from home, such as Google Maps or YouTube. But you can control your intake to moderate the most demanding or even block them. It is the same principle that applies in most diets: the first step to reduce something is to know the amount

data-intensive apps usually have options to control spending data. Spotify, for example, you can download the sound quality, and you can ask Dropbox only syncs the photos when WiFi connection (which obviously does not spend mobile data).

In the settings of Google Play (Android) you can specify that updates are only carried out by WiFi (option you can define also for apps concrete). In iPhone, you have to go to Settings & gt; Use iTunes and disable mobile data. Windows Phone has this option in Settings & gt; Applications & gt; Store
