Netflix data volume on Android & iOS: what is the consumption?

If you want to surf Netflix with your Android device or iOS smartphone, you should pay attention to the data volume. The consumption when watching films or series is extremely high.

Netflix: data volume on iOS and Android

• If you use the Netflix app for iOS or Android on your smartphone or are on the go with a mobile browser on Netflix, then you should be aware that streaming a film or a series episode sucks a lot of data.
• By streaming entire films, you can quickly get rid of several GB of data volume.
• So keep in mind that you may not be able to surf Netflix on the go with your mobile network. Unless you have a mobile data flat rate.
• The same also applies to other streaming portals such as Maxdome or Amazon Instant Video. YouTube videos can also quickly push your mobile data plan to its limits.
• Meanwhile, Netflix offers the possibility to regulate the data consumption. In the application, you can now choose between low, medium and high data consumption when streaming. So you can also watch films on the go without completely using up the data volume. The corresponding settings can be found under "Your profile"> "Playback settings".
