Since most postpaid and prepaid plans offer daily data caps, it’s become more important to save data so that it’s available when you need it or just to prevent it from running out before the day is out.
Fortunately, the iPhone comes with a feature called Low Data mode which allows users to reduce data consumption on the device. This is done by optimizing app behavior and limiting background data.
Follow these steps to enable Low Data Mode on your iPhone:
Requirements:
Make sure your iPhone is running on iOS 13 or later. Low Data Mode is available on iOS 13 and above.
If necessary, update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS. Go to “Settings” > “General” > “Software Update” to check for updates.
Steps to enable Low Data mode
Steps
Open the Settings app on your iPhone
Scroll down and tap “Cellular” (or “Cellular data” depending on your region).
Under the “Cellular Data” section, you’ll find “Cellular Data Options.” Tap it.
On the next screen, you will see the “Low Data Mode” switch. Turn it on by tapping the switch to make it green.
Things to keep in mind:
- Low Data Mode affects the behavior of apps and system services. It may restrict background app refresh, automatic downloads, and certain visual effects.
- While Low Data mode can help reduce data usage, it can also affect the functionality or performance of some apps. Certain features, such as high-quality media streaming, can be compromised.
- Some apps may not immediately respond to Low Data Mode. It depends on how developers have implemented support for this feature in their apps.
- Low Data Mode settings are specific to mobile data and do not affect Wi-Fi usage.
- Low Data Mode remains on until you manually turn it off. To return to normal data usage behavior, simply return to the “Mobile Data Options” screen and disable Low Data Mode.
- By enabling Low Data Mode on your iPhone, you can effectively manage your data usage and save data if necessary.
