“Does data saver apply to Wi-Fi?

Does data saver affect WiFi? No, it doesn’t. Data saver only restricts the apps from using mobile data. While 

you are on WiFi, your phone’s data saver won’t affect it.”

“The Data Saver option is only when you’re not on WiFi and affects how you see your content.”
