Saving data volume on Android: how it works

You can save your data volume on Android with just a few simple tricks. In this practical tip, we have summarized exactly what these are for you.

Save data volume on Android - with these tricks it works

• WLAN: Switch on your WLAN and mobile data as soon as you are at home.
• Big data: You should generally only carry out streaming, downloads or updates in the WLAN to save data volume.
• Use offline: In many apps such as Netflix or Amazon Video, you have the option of downloading the videos and watching them offline. However, download the content via WiFi.
• Chrome: In the settings of the mobile browser you can activate the "data saving mode". The mobile data is compressed as much as possible and saved in this way.
• Check data consumption: You can check the data consumption of the apps in the "Settings" of the smartphone. If this is too high, you can easily limit the data consumption.
• Notifications: Also in the "Settings"> "Notifications" you can set that you no longer want to receive notifications and, for example, check for incoming mails or messages.
• Airplane mode: When you're on the go and listening to music, Airplane mode is the easiest way to save data. However, please note that the telephone functions will then also not be available.
• Advertising: In many free games, advertising is used for financing. The free Adblock Plus for Android puts an end to this - because the advertising eats data properly.
