Where does mobile traffic disappear on the iPhone and how to stop it? Our tips will help to significantly reduce the traffic consumption of mobile devices.

Hello friends, today on the phone I helped to solve one problem to my friend, we can say to a regular customer. He called and said that the Internet is very slow, and he has CDMA from Intertelecom and a tariff at which 1000 Mb is given per day. But that's not the point, he told me that the Internet is very slow, almost nothing comes off. Well, I immediately thought that the provider had some problems, anything can happen.

Problems with transferring large files

Virtually all companies transfer large files. These files consume respectively a large number of traffic. But the bottlenecks lurking in any network make it even slower transfers. A single-component congested network can quickly result in a significant loss of bandwidth.

Get a complete overview of bandwidth usage

The tool reads traffic data to complete the router provides detailed statistics on what services and programs are using them throughput, and where they can be potential bottlenecks. This ensures that you can respond proactively to any throughput issues and fix them before they become serious.

But when I last time I set up his computer, then set it, so that he would not overspend the limit, and he told me that the quota had already been used up by 21 percent, and it was growing, although all browsers were closed, and nothing was downloading. Then everything became clear, well, almost everything, some program uses the Internet, and uses it seriously.

It remains only to find this program, and block it, or delete it. Otherwise, this is completely chaos, browsers are closed, and the Internet is used. According to the client, there were no unnecessary programs on the notification panel, and the automatic one was checked.

“We can all work with peace of mind knowing that our systems are constantly monitored.”

Using the monitor's bandwidth is the key to better governance network. You will enjoy fast and full review anytime with our dashboards and apps. But how can a bandwidth test be done? Task 1: In order to test the maximum return on bandwidth, you will need to use your line at maximum capacity. This means there will be more resources for other data during the test. In other words, you are a cripple of the network.

To be honest, I didn’t even immediately know how to find out which program or process is secretly using the Internet, I haven’t met this before. But then I caught my eye installed antivirus ESET NOD32 Smart Security. And I thought that he also has a firewall, in which, most likely, you can see which program or process is loading the Internet connection. Moreover, the client also had ESET NOD32 installed smart security.

Task 2: To measure 100%, essentially two computers are needed, which will be directly located at the ends of the line, whose bandwidth is to be tested. Otherwise, you will simultaneously test all network devices that appear in the "test track.".

For these reasons, you cannot directly measure the throughput during the entire test, but you can test the line speed by generating short peak loads, for example by downloading a small file every few minutes to measure the download time.

After making sure that you can see in the antivirus which program uses Internet traffic, I advised you to do this (if you have the same problem, do it together :)):

Open ESET NOD32 Smart Security and go to the tab, then select "Network connections".

Tip: Are you new to monitoring and need support?

If the line is being used by others during the test, you will see jitter in the graph and the tests will fail with total available bandwidth. If there is no other traffic on the line, the graph should look like a very straight line. More detailed information about individual processes and how they can be used to improve network bandwidth efficiency.

Bandwidth monitoring

Sign up here for a free email consultation and can learn how best to use your resources. Tip: "Hey Matthias, what would you say to an administrator who wants to control their bandwidth?". Instead of trying to measure throughput against simulated additional loads, you should look around for the steps to do it anyway and then monitor them. For example, when performing backups, there is often a lot of bandwidth pressure and can easily recognize missing or bottlenecks. Finding the reasons why slow applications or other problems without a monitoring tool is a long and expensive process.

A list of programs and processes that use the Internet connection on your computer will appear. Opposite the title process/program the current outgoing and incoming speed will be displayed and how much data was sent and received from the Internet by a specific program / process. Close all browsers and take a close look at this table, you will see a program that uses the Internet on the sly, because only it will most likely have all the indicators distinguishable from 0 B / s.

You only get about twenty sensors to monitor bandwidth, and these sensors can be created automatically. This will allow you to plan ahead to provide higher bandwidth at certain times, such as when your site is in use. in great demand, or when users make heavy use of the app, or when an update is about to take place.

Quickly diagnose capacity

Is your bandwidth slowly reaching its limit? This will allow you to plan the acquisition of new resources in right time. By detecting and eliminating bandwidth hiders, you will increase the efficiency of your network. It will also benefit long-term savings.

The client noticed this harmful program immediately. It turned out that this is some kind of ZONA torrent client program. Here she calmly lay in autoload, started up with the computer, and as soon as the Internet appeared, she continued to download some films. Mercilessly and quietly, spending the already small limit of 1000 MB. And then 10 kopecks per 1 MB, which is not very cheap, and such programs can gobble up all the money from the account.

As a result, you will play an important role in improving employee performance as well as improving customer satisfaction. History always repeats itself: you won't make it to the end of the month with the mobile data speeds offered by most carriers. And this used to be, having one or two gigabytes of Internet, gave many opportunities to see mail or search information on the Internet.

The problem is not only that we use a lot of Internet on mobile. Most popular apps and websites in last years are gaining weight, mainly due to the greater presence of high-definition videos and images.

I advised you to immediately remove the program, if you do not know how to do this, then read the article. After removing this program, the Internet worked well, and was no longer used for no reason.

By the way, you can simply prohibit a specific program or process from using the Internet. Just right-click on the desired program and select “Temporarily disable network connection for the process”. In order to allow the use of the Internet, simply uncheck the box in the same way.

Disable automatic download

Also, it's not all text messages. But there are ways to limit unnecessary spending or get you to spend less without giving up. You don't need to upload this photo right now when you don't feel like seeing it. Applications configuration is the screen you should use in the first case to give a respite to your megabytes.

From the application options, you can stop the automatic download of photos and videos. There is also a "Lower Data Usage" option in case of using application calls that are made using the data rate. Every day they are more haunted by photos and videos.

That's the way it is, friends. It's also good that it was a program that just downloaded movies, but it could also be a Trojan that would send information from your computer to intruders. Hope my advice personal experience useful to you. Good luck friends!

This application compresses traffic and improves speed

If we can't get out of the phone for a moment, the solution is to make the data we consume take up less. This is called compression and consists of all our navigation through a remote server, which transparently compacts it. You will almost imperceptibly sacrifice some quality of photos or videos, but you will notice that you consume less and everything goes faster. It costs nothing to see if the user experience really doesn't change too much and if it is able to reduce that mega-peak that leaves you up to two days from the start of a new billing period.

An urgent problem for owners of tariffs with a limit on the speed or amount of information (as well as USB modems) or "low-speed Internet". It seems that the Internet is there, but the speed is not enough even to open pages on the Internet. If you are used to it and put up with it, then you can continue to ignore it. But still, I think everyone will be interested in what programs or applications use Internet traffic.
By the way, sometimes in this way you can find out and see some unfamiliar process or application that you do not know, and this may be a virus or spyware that sends your data (or monitors your actions) and sends them to someone through the Internet.

Set boundaries

This panel, accessible from the settings, is very practical for measuring the consumption we produce during the days of the month and has set a warning to let us lower the piston before we run out of megad. The use of the Internet by telephone is becoming more common, and the plans of these operators do not always cover all the needs of the client. If you are left in the middle of the month without data on your mobile phone, you are faced with a dilemma: endure not using the data on your smartphone or buy an additional bonus.

You can find out what is eating your Internet traffic in several ways.

1) Through standard. But there is one big drawback here - only in Windows 8 it shows on the tab Processes in a collumn Network.

In other editions (versions) of "Windows" this is not. More precisely, there is, but there is not what you need.

2) Through and various firewalls that provide.
But here, too, there is a snag - not everyone gives such an opportunity, and there are also paid options. Although I use it and it suits me. Shows, by the way, that he uses the Internet too. Like all firewalls in principle.

But these bonds are not cheap at all. In fact, consumer associations have reported that they have asked the government to take action to make flat data rates available on mobile, or at least at lower prices.

But as long as that's not possible, if possible, there are a few things that can be done to keep the data plan alive long enough that it doesn't run out of connection or fail to reach the wallet. On the site, we have developed this guide to put together a few tips and tricks to extend the life of your data plan.

3) Through third-party special programs.
I consider this option to be the best and most effective, because it is suitable for all versions of the OS and you do not need to pay, because all programs are free.

The first program to receive universal recognition is TCPView from.

On the positive side, it does not require installation (portable) and takes up little space (284 kb). Of the negative in it, only that it does not have a Russian-language interface. But to understand it will not be difficult.

Beware of Updates

Application updates implement new features and fix bugs. Setting them is important but generates important data traffic. Other applications and widgets are constantly receiving information that is not always needed. For example, weather widgets are updated every few minutes to show temperature and precipitation always on the screen, although this is sometimes necessary.

App notifications are one of the most problematic features of smartphones. And that, while it appears that the phone is "receiving" data, messages, or signals, it is actually the one that is constantly "calling" the server to see if there are new features.

After running the file, the main window looks like this:

Disabling notifications is one way to prevent this constant data leak. But it can be very difficult for you not to know anything about your social networks for several hours, or even that this measure is counterproductive if, in turn, you turn off notifications that you will manually check every 3 minutes. Therefore, you can also schedule notification updates. In this way, everyone, for example 15 minutes, receives notifications about various social networking, messaging or e-mail applications and thus limits data consumption.

The second program is NetWorx

It does everything the same as the previous program, namely, it monitors and shows which programs climb into the Internet. The most important and pleasant difference is that it is Russified and has many functions.

After installation and / or launch, the program is minimized to and when you right-click on the icon, the following menu appears:

Better if there is a mobile version

Web pages are becoming more interactive and complete. However

Hey! Although the number of gigabytes (included mobile operators into their tariffs) is growing every year, and the price, on the contrary, is falling, anyway, not many can afford to fully unlimited Internet on the device. Yes, and here it’s rather not a matter of “allowing”, but simply not many people need it. There is a conditional one gigabyte per month and it is enough - why pay more?

But in some cases (especially when switching to an iPhone from another device), these same gigabytes suddenly begin to be missed - when turned on, an Apple mobile phone starts wildly eating traffic and eats up the entire available limit in a few hours. And this is where the screams begin: “The iPhone is bad, I just inserted a SIM card - I don’t do anything, and the traffic leaves by itself (and the battery is also running low!)”. Ai-ai-ai and all that...:) Why is this happening? Believe me, not because the iPhone is bad and the company decided to ruin you. No.

The thing is that the iPhone, like any modern smartphone, has a number of settings that you just need to pay attention to in order to avoid such “arbitrariness” of your smartphone with your own Internet.

But first, a small list of where iPhone traffic can go without your knowledge:

An experienced reader and user will say: “Yes, there is still a lot where traffic can flow!”. And he will be right - mailbox updates, push notifications, browser, etc. all this also affects the number of gigabytes consumed, but:

• Say that push notifications, mail downloads, etc. really devour the whole cellular internet- it is forbidden. They use it, if at all, in very small quantities.
• And if you disable all this, as they suggest on many sites (the most ingenious advice I have come across is to turn off the Internet in the settings so that it does not waste you), then why then the iPhone?

Therefore, let's try to get by with little bloodshed - we will prohibit the iPhone from consuming the Internet on its own, but without much damage to us.

Update or download apps from the App Store

Current applications and games can reach 2-3 gigabytes in size and Apple company took care of saving traffic - you can’t officially download a program with a volume of more than 150 megabytes from the App store (though we know). But at the same time, there are a large number of programs with a volume less than this threshold (150 MB). And that's it they can devour your Internet package.

Here we are talking not so much about downloading (you see what you are downloading), but about self-updating these programs over the cellular network. Therefore, such an update must be disabled:

That's it, now the programs will no longer use the cellular network for their update, and will only do it via Wi-Fi.

How to find out which application "eats" traffic on the iPhone

Installed programs other than simple update their version, they can also consume the Internet in order to perform their normal functions. Therefore, if you really feel that megabytes are running away, it makes sense to check - or maybe some application is too “snuffy”? You can do this:

Just in case, remember this moment so that in the future you will not be surprised why these cards (for example) refuse to work and update their data.

Sending "service information" can also waste the Internet

In fact, of course, this option does not consume so much Mobile Internet and I myself have not come across this, but I have seen several stories that talk about this particular “glitch”, or a failure, when this same service information was sent constantly. Therefore, I decided to include this item here - it will not be superfluous to disable sending it for sure. How to do it?

As you can see in the explanation, this information is sent daily, and it does not carry any special load other than helping Apple improve its products. Therefore, if you turn off its transmission, then nothing terrible will happen, and traffic (even if small) will be saved.

"Help with Wi-Fi" - traffic on the iPhone flows away very quickly

"Wonderful" option, which is enabled by default for some reason. Its essence is that if your Wi-Fi signal "does not pull", and the cellular network can provide best speed- Wi-Fi will automatically turn off and data transfer will go through the SIM card.

I myself fell for this bait not so long ago - I sat watching videos on YouTube, did not bother anyone. Then the iPad did not like something in my Wi-Fi (bad signal, insufficient speed) and he considered it necessary to turn it off (which is important - no notifications come!), And I continued to enjoy the video through happy ignorance cellular communication. I came to my senses only after the operator sent an SMS message with the text: "Your Internet package is coming to an end."

Therefore, in my opinion, if you do not have an unlimited tariff, this option should be disabled immediately. How to do it:

I repeat, this option should be turned off in almost any case, so that there are no surprises with the disappearance of traffic.

iCloud services sync eats up mobile data

iCloud is really good and convenient, and backups are generally beyond praise. However, if you care about saving precious megabytes on your tariff, then in this case the "cloud" will have to be turned off.

We are now talking about iCloud Drive - this is a kind of cloud data storage (I already talk about the principles of its operation). So, synchronization (downloading and uploading data) with this storage can occur over a cellular network. And it’s good if you sent a small object there, but what if it’s 100-200 megabytes? While it is downloading, all traffic will go away.

Yes, and ordinary programs can store their data there. And who knows how much they will load there? But it's good that all this can be turned off:

After that, the "cloud" will synchronize exclusively via Wi-Fi.

It would seem that each of the actions is quite simple and does not require special efforts. But shutdown and execution of all items.

The concept of saving Internet traffic appeared during the existence of limited wired Internet. Nowadays, unlimited wired Internet supplied at reasonable prices. But the unlimited tariffs of providers supplying wireless Internet may not yet be affordable for everyone. How to save cash working with a metered internet connection? In addition to a conscious rejection of unnecessary operations for downloading files and visiting web resources, you can save Internet traffic using various ways and browser tools. What are these methods and what are these tools - more on that below.

1. Ways to save Internet traffic

1.1. Ad blockers

One of the effective ways to save traffic is ad blockers. Blocks with contextual advertising, especially if they are animated banners, usually make up the majority of Internet traffic. So ad blockers perform two whole constructive missions - they block ads and save money for users of limited Internet. The ad blocking function can be implemented in any browser that supports the installation of extensions. However, ad blockers on individual sites will have to be disabled. So, some media resources will not open access to free video viewing until the ad blocker is disabled for their sites. Among the popular ad blockers are, etc.

1.2. Traffic compression mode

Especially for a slow Internet connection, some browsers provide traffic compression modes. These are modes in which traffic passes through the servers of the technology provider, and on users' devices, site pages are already displayed in a compressed form - with reduced image quality, blocked flash animation, etc. Traffic compression modes are useful not only in conditions slow internet, but still when working with low-powered computers and slow sites. Also, traffic compression modes are used as a way to access territorially blocked sites. Thus, traffic compression involves the mediation of the servers of the technology provider, and they, accordingly, perform the same role as proxy or VPN servers. If the technology provider's servers are not located in the blocking country of the site, access to it will be allowed. Traffic compression modes are pre-installed in Opera and Yandex Browser. And in Google Chrome and browsers that support working with content from its store, the traffic saving mode can be implemented using a special extension.

1.3. Blocking the Adobe Flash Plugin

To save Internet traffic, you can set up a permission request before using the plugin Adobe Flash. Without the user's permission, the flash animation player will not start and, accordingly, consume Internet traffic.

1.4. Image blocking

Blocking images on web pages is a last resort. Image blocking is just like ad blocking. effective way saving traffic, plus, significantly speeding up web surfing, not only in terms of the speed of opening sites, but also as a method of focusing on useful information, not pictures. Image blocking is usually provided in the browser settings, but for these purposes it is better to install a special extension with convenient access on the toolbar. For Chromium browsers and "heirs" of the Gecko engine, this extension is Chrome HTML Content Blocker, it implements image blocking buttons on the toolbar of browsers, as well as other types of content. The extension can be installed in Opera stores (for itself and Yandex.Browser), Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

Which of the methods described above to save Internet traffic are implemented in popular browsers and how to use these methods?

2 Opera

The Opera browser comes with two powerful traffic compression tools on board. In its settings (section "Basic"), you can activate a regular ad blocker.

And use the Opera Turbo function, a traffic compression technology patented by Opera Software.

As part of the operation of Opera Turbo, flash content is blocked automatically and launched manually by the user. You can completely block Adobe Flash or configure it to work outside the traffic compression mode in the Opera settings section "Sites". Image blocking is also configured here.

3. Yandex.Browser

With the permission of Opera Software, Opera Turbo technology has equipped a collector of the best from other browsers - Yandex.Browser. The traffic compression mode in Yandex.Browser is called "Turbo" mode. This mode is automatically activated in conditions of a slow Internet connection. You can enable it yourself in the browser menu, and configure it in the "Turbo" section of the browser settings.

Yandex.Browser is equipped with its own ad blocker, but not all, but only aggressive.

On board, we will find a flash data blocker in the add-ons section

and an image blocker are among the features of the Protect panel.

4. Google Chrome

Traffic compression mode based on technology from Google Chrome browser and its clones appears after installing the "Traffic Saver" extension. To enable it, you need to activate the "Traffic saving" checkbox.

Without installing special extensions, you can block Adobe Flash and images in the Chrome settings by clicking the "Show advanced settings" option and clicking the "Content settings" button in the "Personal data" section.

5. Vivaldi

The Vivaldi browser is based on Chromium and supports installation of extensions for Chrome. You can implement the traffic compression mode in this browser using the same "Traffic Saver" extension. Vivaldi is notable for its built-in features and effects for web pages, including:

• image blocker;

• banner blocker and read mode.

Reading mode on board Vivaldi can be used as a tool to save traffic, since when it is activated for each individual site, the article materials of such a site will constantly open in reading mode, a book format cleared of web elements. You can set up Adobe Flash blocking in the Vivaldi settings, in the "Web pages" section.

6 Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox does not have its own data compression technology, nor is it implemented through extensions. But that's at the time of writing. There have been experimental "web accelerator" extensions in the history of the browser, and there may be more in the future. On the this moment You can save traffic when working with Firefox using extensions - blockers of ads and other content (Content Blocker), in particular, the mentioned HTML Content Blocker.

Have a great day!

Saving traffic is necessary because the two main problems that many Russian users face are low Internet speed and high fees for often unnecessary information. Let's take a closer look at how to save Internet traffic without losing the quality of the information received.

Choice of tariff plan and provider

Internet speed varies from provider to provider depending on the number of users and network bandwidth. When choosing a service provider, it is best to experiment and advice from friends. But in many small Russian cities, users do not have much choice.

A proven way to save Internet traffic on a computer is to work on the Web at certain times of the day. The highest speed is from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. At this time, you can provide for downloading large amounts of information by setting the download manager accordingly.

With dial-up access, when choosing a service provider, you should pay attention to what the fee is taken for:

1. During access. Beneficial for those who download large amounts of information (video or software).
2. for the information used. Convenient for those who simply surf the Web, looking through the pages.

Blocking unwanted content

Some of the information that comes from the World Wide Web is completely unnecessary for the user. Moreover, it increases the page load time and consumes the Internet, and therefore money. There are a number effective ways protection from inappropriate content.

Data caching

Some of the elements on each page do not change when the information is updated (logos, scripts, CSS), so it is unnecessary to download them from the web every time. This is provided by caching on the user's computer.

• Browser cache. In modern browsers, in order to save money, it is hidden to save traffic, it is structurally incorporated efficient system cache. Downloaded pages are best viewed offline.
• You can use a more efficient local caching proxy or DNS proxy to save money, while disabling the browser cache and freeing up hard disk space.

Savings in email

To do this, you need to clean mail from spam using mail services that cut spam already on the server. But you need to pay attention to the correct mail filtering settings so as not to lose important correspondence.

Some services (Bat, Outlook) can show only the header of the letter, after which the user himself decides whether to download it. It is possible to limit the size of letters or disable the download of attachments.

Compressing content with special services

It is possible to increase line bandwidth, speed up downloads and reduce network traffic using gzip compression (compression) of information. Text is compressed, while graphics, archives and executable files are downloaded directly. This allows you to speed up the opening of the page by about two times.

However, not all servers support gzip compression. Then you can use network services such as WebWarper, WebCompressor, TrafficOptimizer, Toonel.net, etc., which compress http content and other types of data (email and socks files).

The free use of these services is complicated by the addition of their own advertising or restrictions on the number of simultaneously working free clients, which can make it difficult to connect.

Using download managers

The usefulness of download managers is that they allow you to download the rest of the file in case of a disconnection from the Internet, and not start downloading again. In addition, they allow you to view the contents of the archive before downloading and select the files you need.

Also, during the download process, you can view a video or listen to an audio file and decide on the need for its full download.

Disabling image loading

When opening some pages, images can take up to 80% of traffic. Therefore, if you need to download a text or any file, there is no point in waiting for the download of large images, unless they contain the necessary information. This feature is available in all browsers.

Web surfing without pictures is somewhat unusual, so you can experiment in this format for several days, and then decide whether you need it or not.

And even when there are no more problems with data transfer speed, before turning off traffic savings, it is worth considering whether everything that is transmitted from the Internet is necessary for the user. Perhaps some restrictions should be left.

Now mobile Internet is relatively inexpensive, but this is no reason to scatter it left and right. Full unlimited still costs a pretty penny, and many operators, by the way, are already refusing such a luxury.

Most of the available tariffs are conditionally unlimited, that is, they give a certain and rather limited amount of traffic per day or month. If you exceed the limit, then the speed will drop to the level of a dial-up modem and it will become impossible to use the Internet.

Perhaps you do not fit into the volume provided by the tariff or dangerously approaching the limit. Perhaps you want to save some traffic to use it in case of urgent need. In any case, it is useful to be able to save megabytes, and now we will tell you how to do it.

Get rid of pest apps

Increased traffic consumption is not always associated with your appetites. Often, the unjustified gluttony of individual applications is to blame. Such scoundrels sit in the background and constantly transmit and send something. You can find them using a standard tool that is built into any current version of Android.

1. Go to android settings.
2. Select Data Transfer.
3. Select Mobile Data Sharing.

Here you will see the general graph of mobile traffic consumption, and below it - the rating of the most voracious inhabitants of the system.

To moderate the ardor of an individual application, tap on it and turn off the background mode. After that, the trickster will not be able to receive and send data in the background.

The problem is that in order to identify bastards, you need to understand what is the normal Internet consumption for a particular application. Obviously, the browser, music and video streaming services, and maps are capable of eating hundreds of megabytes, but offline-oriented and working with a small amount of data have nothing to do on this list.

Set alert and traffic limit

1. Go to android settings.
2. Select Data Transfer.
3. Select "Payment Cycle".

The billing cycle is the date when the subscription fee is charged. Usually on the same day a new Internet package is given. Specify it so that the system knows the date when the traffic counter was reset.

1. Turn on Alert Settings.
2. Select Warnings.
3. Specify the amount of traffic, upon reaching which the system will inform you about it.

If you want to severely limit the traffic consumption, enable "Set traffic limit" and specify the value, upon reaching which the system will turn off the mobile Internet.

Disable app updates via mobile network

1. Go to the settings of the Google Play app store.
2. Select Auto Update Apps.
3. Select the "Only via Wi-Fi" option.

Enable Data Saver in Android

1. Go to android settings.
2. Select Data Transfer.
3. Select "Traffic Saver".

After turning on the data saving mode, the system will disable background data communication for most applications, which will significantly reduce the overall traffic consumption. To allow background data sharing for individual applications in economy mode, tap on the corresponding item.

Save bandwidth with Opera Max

In fact, the Opera Max application does the same thing as Android's built-in data saver mode, that is, it blocks background data, but it looks a little nicer and more visual.

Turn on data savings in individual apps

Any normal developer, if his application works with potentially large amounts of data, allows you to optimize traffic consumption using settings. For example, almost all tools from Google are able to save precious megabytes of mobile Internet.

Google Chrome

1. Go to Google Chrome settings.
2. Select "Traffic Saver".

In addition to Google Chrome, the traffic saving mode is provided in the Opera browser.

YouTube

1. Go to YouTube settings.
2. Select General.
3. Turn on the "Traffic Saver" mode.

Google Maps

1. Go to Google Maps settings.
2. Turn on Wi-Fi Only and follow the Your Offline Maps link.

Offline maps allow you to save hundreds of megabytes of traffic. Be sure to download your area of ​​residence and don't forget to add the areas you plan to visit in the near future.

1. Click "Other Area".
2. Use the pan and zoom gestures to select a download area and click Download.
3. Click the gear icon in the upper right corner of the Downloaded Areas menu.
4. Select "Download Settings" and select "Wi-Fi Only".

Google Press

1. Go to your Google Press settings.
2. Select "Data Saver Mode" and select "On".
3. In the "Download" section, turn on the "Only via Wi-Fi" mode.

Google Photos

1. Go to your Google Photos settings.
2. Find the "Use mobile data" section and turn off the option for photos and videos.

Google Music

1. Go to your Google Music settings.
2. In the "Playback" section, lower the quality when transferring mobile network.
3. In the "Download" section, allow to download music only via Wi-Fi.

If necessary, allow music playback only over Wi-Fi.

Google Music can save albums for offline listening. You can download music to your device when you have Wi-Fi and play it without an internet connection.

1. Go to the artist's album list.
2. Click on the vertical ellipsis icon in the lower right corner of the album and select "Download" from the menu that appears.

Google Movies

1. Go to your Google Movies settings.
2. In the Mobile Streaming section, turn on Show Warning and Limit Quality.
3. In the "Downloads" section, select "Network" and select "Only via Wi-Fi".

Keep track of your carrier's rates and options

Often a person overpays for communication simply because he is sitting on an outdated tariff. Ask what's new with your operator. It's possible you can get more internet for less money.
