Dhaka, 14 July– As data prices continue to rise, with Jio, Airtel, and VI increasing their rates, consumers are seeking ways to keep their internet costs in check. Many opt for lower data plans, but with the daily 1 GB or 1.5 GB limit, data can be quickly exhausted. Here are some tips to help you save mobile data and avoid the need for additional recharge boosters:

1. Monitor Data Usage

Understanding how much data each app consumes is the first step in managing your data usage. 

    • Check Data Usage: Go to your phone settings to see which apps are consuming the most data.
    • Reduce Usage: Limit or reduce the use of high data-consuming apps.

2. Turn Off Background Data Usage

Many apps continue to use data even when not in active use. Turning off background data can significantly save data.

    • Data Saver: Enable the data saver mode in your phone settings to restrict background data usage.
    • Manual Turn Off: Go to each app's settings and turn off background data usage individually.

3. Avoid High-Quality Streaming and Downloads

Streaming or downloading videos in high quality can quickly deplete your data.

    • Lower Quality: Opt for lower quality settings in apps like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.
    • Download Wisely: Avoid downloading high-quality videos and music unless connected to WiFi.

4. Use Offline Mode

Whenever possible, use offline features to save data.

    • Google Maps: Download maps in advance to use them offline.
    • Other Apps: Check for offline options in other frequently used apps.

5. Set Mobile Data Limits

Most smartphones allow you to set data usage limits to prevent exceeding your plan.

    • Data Limits: Set a data limit in your phone settings. You'll receive alerts when you're nearing your data cap.

6. Delete Unnecessary Apps and Use WiFi

Removing apps you don't need can save both data and storage.

    • Uninstall Unused Apps: Delete apps that you don't frequently use.
    • Free WiFi: Take advantage of free WiFi wherever available to save on mobile data.

By following these simple tips, you can manage your mobile data more effectively and avoid additional costs due to frequent recharges.
