Last night I got an offline message from a friend of mine, for the
message to be sent offline few hours I left the media was enough for me
to indicate a problem from him. Going through his message I knew he was
bothered about his lately purchased samsung galaxy. He complained that
the usage of data plan on the device was too high that he can’t bear to
keep wasting his last cards on recharging for another data plan. He was
like; a monthly data plan subscription which is meant to last within
that period ends up draining in a week.
Actually, android smartphones are used to high data consumption. So today’s stroll, I would be explaining the 5 ways to reduce android data usage.
1. Use of My Data Manager App:
My data manager app is very good software that helps to track data usage
in all other apps on your android device. It’s also simply known as a
data counter that does counts the daily usage of your data plan and
helps in controling it.
So this app is very much recommended for your android device so that you
can get to discover background softwares that do consumes your data
plan and quickly stop such app from runing its activities in other for
you to maximize your data usage. One thing that amazes me about this
software is that it helps to set usage alarm so whenever you have
reached the data plan amount that you have setup to use, then you would
be alerted in other to avoid overage charges unlike bill shock. To
download My Data Manager App, click here or download through your playstore.
2. Restrict background apps:
Restriction of background app is another great method to avoid high data
consumption on your android smartphones. In other to restrict these
background apps, you have follow the below procedure.
· First tap the menu button on the screen of your android device.
· After that, you should then navigate to settings.
· Once that is done, then scroll down to account and sync settings.
· Finally, deselect background data.
Note: All warnings must be ignored and select background data if only
you wish to make use of your playstore, which after you are expected to
deselect after usage.
3. Installation of Ad blockers:
One thing that annoyes most is opening my browser and enter a webpage
just for me to see lots of ads and pop-ups that drains tons of my data
plan. Most of you might not be familiar with an ad blocker; even
majority of you might not be awared that pop-ups and ads consume almost
60% of your data plan. Well all those misuse of your data plans ends
with the use of ad blocker.
Ad blocker also has option which enables you either to block or ads or inappropriate ads unlike video and audio ads.

4. Use of lite browsers:
Unlike every other browser, chrome browser is the best browser
recommeded for your android device, it helps to reduce data usage and
most especially it blocks pop-ups. No much stories, simple open you
chrome browser, then navigate to settings > Bandwidth Management >
