Yo guys! After a series of tips on Saving Battery Life in Android Phones,

I am here with a set of tips for Saving your Internet Data!

Again here, I am focusing on unrooted users, whereas will be useful for rooted users too.

So obviously, this tips will also help you to implement a faster browsing experience!

Let's Begin!

SELECTION OF BROWSERS​

When talking about Internet Browsers for Android, many browsers claim to give you a faster internet browsing experience, and YES, they do the same too, No doubt.

But when you think about getting a good Speed, plus have a limited data plan, you can always try these great alternatives provided by the Developers.

1. UC BROWSER MINI:

Talking about the UC Browser, which is nearly sized at 15 MB+, this Mini version of it can help you gain speed and lower the use of data with it.

Sized up to nearly 1.20+ MB, UC Browser Mini assures you a light weight browsing experience.

TIPS TO BE TRIED WHEN USING UC MINI:

~Turn On the 'Speed Mode'.

~Try Cloud Download Mode when downloading large sized files on your Phone so that it won't fail while downloading!

2. OPERA BROWSER MINI:

When coming to Opera Mini, this is one of the most browsing oriented Browser for Android!

Sized nearly 2.80+ MB, Opera Mini highly relies on compressed pages, so automatically you get a compressed version of the site that you load in the browser, in short, speed is guaranteed, even on a 2G network.

Well, downloading isn't a USP of this browser, as it mostly focuses on browsing.

TIPS TO BE TRIED WHEN USING OPERA MINI:

~Go to Settings/ and 'Turn on the Single Column View' option. This compresses the pages to fit in the portrait size, so again, it will reduce your data usage till 2 times, comparing to other browsers.

3. BOAT BROWSER MINI:

While talking about Boat Browser Mini, the one line description is: A Mobile Site Oriented Browser demanding low space.

Boat Browser Mini loads the pages just like other big sized browsers do, but it is sized to only 3.4 MB. This is a great alternative if you are looking for a browser demanding COMPARATIVELY low data, and space without losing the essence of Mobile browsing.

Well, this browser has a great in build Download Manager too!

TIPS TO BE TRIED WHEN USING BOAT BROWSER MINI:

~While Exiting through the browser, click on 'Clear Cache and Then Exit' option. This may help you reduce excessive cache from the websites.

DISABLING APPS​

Unrooted phones do NOT have a choice to uninstall applications that are provided in the firmware.

But fortunately, Android OS has provided a option called 'Disable' in the app info menu, so that you can Disable the apps that you don't use or rarely use.

-Go to Settings/Apps/ [Or App Manager in some devices]

-Open the menu of app that you don't want to use or rarely use.

-Click on 'Disable'

-DONE.

You can enable it back whenever you face a need for it.

Frankly speaking, I have the Google Play Store and YouTube apps disabled in my device. I enable those whenever needed, use it and again disable it.

This helps my data to last longer.

So, you may also implement the same.

Be aware that you DO NOT Disable the Google Play Services! :fingers crossed:

MISCELLANEOUS​

-Turn Off Sync when not needed.

-Turn of Data when not needed.

APPS THAT CAN HELP YOU​
