Your device records how much data you use and which apps use most of your data.
- Swipe up from the middle of the screen to display all apps
- Open the Settings app
- Select Connections
- Select Data usage
- 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.
- Swipe up from the home screen to display all apps
- Open the Settings app
- Select Connections
- Select Data usage
- Select Data saver
- Select toggle to turn 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.
- Swipe up from the home screen to display all apps
- Open the Settings app
- Select Connections
- Select Data usage
- Select Billing cycle and data warning
- Select Data warning
- Enter your desired warning level then select Set
Note: This will let you know once your data reaches this set level
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.
- Swipe up from the home screen to display all apps
- Open the Settings app
- Select Connections
- Select Data usage
- Select Billing cycle and data warning
- Select Data warning
- Enter your desired limit then select Set
Note: You data will only work until you reach this set limit
