There are applications that consume too much data
First of all, we will usually have installed several applications on our devices, but the problem is that many times we are not aware that they may be consuming data at any time, which is why we look at the amount we had available and the next day we see excessive consumption when in reality we have barely used the connection.
This is because many of these tools often connect to the Internet or even download or upload large amounts of information, which is why it is worth having an application that allows us know the consumption of each of these applications.
From there what we will do is limit access to these tools with which we will considerably reduce consumption.
Choose a suitable browser
It is also important that we use browsers that do not consume too much data, while it is very important access the pages in their mobile version, since they are more optimized so consumption is reduced.
For example, we will prevent the entire content of the page from loading, making a significant consumption when in reality we only want to see a part of it, we will prevent too many flourishes and decorations from giving us a scare, etc.
Be careful with the videos
The videos are the ones that can give us the biggest surprises in this sense, and many times we start watching one after the other and we don't realize until our rate has reached the limit.
control the updates
Another important point that we must analyze are the updates, and that as a general rule many of them will be carried out at the same time that we have an Internet connection.
In this sense, it is advisable to configure these applications so that updates are carried out only when we are connected through a Wi-Fi network, while the data connection will remain useless in this sense unless we want to perform a specific update on a given moment.
If NO we configure all applications to update over Wi-Fi, at least we will do it with those that require excessive data consumption for each update.
Disconnect the data connection
Another of the obvious pieces of advice that we are going to give you is to disconnect your data connection if you are not using it. This way you can be totally convinced that nothing is consumed at all.
In turn, whenever possible we will use the closest Wi-Fi network, disconnecting the data connection in these cases.
