How to turn off Mobile data

When you are in a WiFi zone or do not need to use network & internet, you can turn off mobile data to limit your usage

1. Place your finger on the top end of the screen and swipe down the extended drop down menu

2. Tap on the Settings button

3. Select Mobile data to turn this off. The icon should go grey once it has been turned off. 

Monitor your data usage 

Your device records how much data you use and which apps use most of your data.

1. Go into Settings

2. Tap Connections

3. Tap Data usage

4. Select Mobile data usage 

How to use your Data Saver

Data Saver helps you reduce data usage by preventing some apps from sending or receiving data in the background. An app you're currently using can access data but may do so less frequently. This may mean, for example, that images don't display until you tap them. 

1. Go into Settings

2. Tap Connections

3. Tap Data usage

4. Select Data Saver

5. Turn Data Saver on

Setting a mobile data warning

You can receive notifications upon reaching the specified data usage level that you set for the month. This is just a warning notification for you to track your usage and will not interfere with your actual usage or your data plan with your provider.

1. Go into Settings 

2. Tap Connections 

3. Tap Data usage

4. Select Billing cycle and data warning

5. Turn Set data warning on

6. Tap Data warning 

7. Set your usage level and tap SET

Setting a mobile data limit

You can set a data limit to automatically turn off mobile data once it reaches the limit you set. However, since data usage is measured by your phone, and your carrier may account for usage differently, consider setting a conservative limit.

1. Open Settings 

2. Tap Connections 

3. Tap Data usage

4. Select Billing cycle and data warning

5. Turn Set data limit on

6. Tap Data limit

7. Set your usage limit and tap SET
