Method 3 of 3: How to reduce traffic consumption

1. 1 Connect to wireless networks whenever possible. In this case, mobile traffic will not be consumed. If your device is not connected to a wireless network, try not to watch streaming video or listen to online music.
2. 2 Download and transfer files on your computer. If you download a lot of files to your device, your mobile traffic will be used up very quickly. Therefore, download the files to your computer and then copy them to your Android device.
   • connect your device to your computer using a USB cable;
     • on your Mac, first install Android File Transfer.
   • on the device, open the notification panel and tap the "USB" option;
   • select "Transfer files" and the device will appear on the computer as a removable disk;
   • copy the files downloaded to your computer to the appropriate folders on your device.
3. 3 Turn on traffic savings if you use the Chrome web browser regularly. The Traffic Saver feature compresses the data (on Google servers) and then sends it to your device. This does not significantly increase the loading time of web pages, but it saves a lot of mobile traffic.
   • launch Chrome on your Android device;
   • click "⋮" in the upper right corner;
   • Tap Settings> Traffic Saver;
   • tap the slider next to "Save traffic".
4. 4 Use apps that consume less bandwidth. Some applications exchange large amounts of data. One such application is Facebook, which can exchange hundreds of megabytes of data in a short amount of time, even if you are not using it.
   • We recommend using the Facebook mobile site, which consumes significantly less traffic. However, some functions of the application will be unavailable.
5. 5 Update applications only over the wireless network. Downloading updates consumes traffic quickly. Therefore, update applications manually:
   • open the Play Store;
   • click "☰" in the upper left corner;
   • Tap Settings> Auto Update Apps;
   • click "Never".
   • To update applications while your device is connected to a wireless network, select My Apps & Games from the menu, and then click Update for the desired application.

Tips

• You may have an app from your mobile operator installed on your device that notifies you of the traffic limit. If so, turn off notifications in this app.
• On most Android devices, the traffic limit can be set in the Mobile Traffic or Billing Cycle menu. If you set a value higher than the real traffic limit, you will not receive notifications.

Warnings

• Some versions of the Android system have a bug that causes many traffic limit notifications to be received, even if the traffic consumption is not close to the limit. In this case, update Android to the latest version to get rid of the error.
