Understanding and Addressing Unexpected Data Depletion

Updated over 8 months ago

Data consumption varies based on factors like video quality and the apps used (e.g., YouTube, Prime Video, Netflix, Facebook, Zoom, Skype, etc.). It can range from 3 GB to over 10 GB per hour, depending on transmission or playback quality.

This depends on app quality and device settings. For instance, YouTube Premium allows adjusting video quality.

Here are ways to control data usage on some devices:

  • Data Saver: Reduces data consumption by limiting background app data.

  • Disable Background Updates: Prevents apps from updating automatically when not using Wi-Fi.

  • Use Lite Versions: Some apps offer "lite" versions that consume less data.
