How to Restrict Android or IOS Apps from Using Data in the Background – Save Your Data
Disabling the background data usage of apps will save you data and enhance your smartphone’s battery life.
With frequent web browsing, streaming
videos, music, hours of scrolling through social media feeds and
stories — saving the limited data pack has become a hell of a task. And
it matters less how frugally you use it, the data-hungry apps running in
the background will scoff the data which ends up in paying exorbitant overcharges.
However, with a few simple
configurations and toggles, you’ll be able to save a lot of data blown
in the background. In fact, you’ll see some leftover data at the end of
the month.
Background data is the consumption of
internet by apps that are not being used actively (in the background)
or even when your phone is in standby mode. It is also known as
background syncing or background App Refresh for iOS devices.
Mobile apps use the data in the background to provide you real-time
updates such as messages and social media notifications. And this
results in draining the mobile data.
