In the previous article, we looked at how to measure your data usage and avoid problems with your FUP limit. Now it's time to look at how to save as much data as possible and transfer as little data as possible. Pro More experienced users may not find the article very interesting, but for many others it may be very useful. The first thing to remember is that multimedia, especially videos, have the greatest data transfer requirements.

Aside from downloading from iTunes App Store or iTunes Store and iBooks, we will use up our data limit the fastest when playing videos or viewing photos. Of course, this also applies the other way around, so we will have the same consumption when uploading videos and photos to various servers and social networks. So avoid working with multimedia and rather postpone it until you are connected to Wi-Fi. If you have to play a video, always choose the lowest possible quality. Remember, the lower the quality, the lower the data flow and the lower the data consumption from our FUP limit.

Surf smart
When browsing websites, choose to view the pages in their mobile version if the site allows it. This is essentially a relic from the WAP era, when websites had specially modified codes for viewing on mobile phones.onech. Currently, the mobile version of the site is understood as a display ideal for the resolution of smartphones or tablets, which in most cases only displays a limited number of advertising banners and other data-intensive objects. The developers' goal is to offer you maxminimum amount of content with minilow data transfer load.

What we can influence directly by phone settings are items that, although at first glance, seem relatively insignificant, data is also accumulated from the settings listed below as part of the monthly use of the phone. If you really want to save data, turn off Data delivery and mail, that is, check emails manually. All you have to do is always open the mail application and manually check whether a new mail has arrived. If you want to keep Push, turn on monitoring for new emails once an hour. Again, a simple rule applies, the more often you check for new mail, the more communication takes place between your device and the server, and the less data is transferred. Overall, however, by turning off notifications and push notifications for e-mails, you won't get much data savings, so it depends only on you whether it's worth losing these functions within the saved 3-5 Mb per month.

However, much more interesting settings can be found in Mail, contacts, calendars. Here you will find the option to load images, which you should definitely turn off, that is, if you value your data. Nothing pleases more than an email containing several photos with a total size of, for example, 10Mb, which is automatically downloaded. You can avoid all this by using the Load images function. Email attachments in any format are only displayed as a preview of the attachment, but you can download it manually only when you touch the attachment. This function can save a really large amount of data and basically doesn't limit you in any way, because in most cases it doesn't matter whether the images or other attachments are loaded automatically or only after you touch them.
