There are applications that offer their own specific function to reduce the mega consumption when we are connected to mobile networks. And they work at full capacity when we are connected to a WiFi network. However, in Android 10 we have this function natively, and at the system level. That is, what it allows is to reduce the consumption of megabytes for all apps. We explain how it works.
Normally, applications can send and receive data when they are running in the background. And if we are connected to mobile networks, this may not interest us. This is one of the functions that limits or restricts the 'data saver' mode. But it also optimizes the operation of apps with images by making them load only and exclusively when we touch them. Thus, there will be no resources that consume mobile data unnecessarily, without us going to use them. But also, we can make some apps can work no restrictions even having the 'data saving' mode activated on the terminal.
How to activate and configure the 'data saving' mode to reduce megabyte consumption
It is easy. We just have to go to the application Settings on our smartphone and, from it, click on the Networks and Internet section. This is where everything related to mobile connectivity and WiFi networks is configured, so this is where we are going to find the section corresponding to Data saving. We will have to enter here and we will see something as simple as the usual button to activate a function. We can activate it and do nothing else, but it is best to continue configuring this feature so that it works as we want.
In the section Unrestricted data We can click to display the complete list of applications installed on our smartphone. Next to each of them we will see an activator. If we activate an app here, it will mean that that app can use the mobile network normally. That is, no restrictions will be applied to the use of mobile data. Therefore, the use of the Internet will work –For his part, of course- both in the foreground and in the background.
This helps us so that applications that may not work well in 'data saving' mode no longer have problems. However, the more apps we include in this list, as is evident, the less mobile data savings will be because they will work at full capacity both when using WiFi networks and when using 3G and 4G mobile connections.
