When you're traveling outside of your regular coverage area, you're probably going to want to use less data than you normally would back at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mobile data is a precious resource while you're traveling.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you're using eSIM travel data<\/a>, <\/strong>you'll want to make sure you have enough data remaining on your prepaid data package. (Of course, with aloSIM, it's easy to add more<\/a> anytime you need it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you're using a carrier travel plan<\/a>,<\/strong> you might be nervous about exceeding your limit and overpaying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you're accruing roaming charges<\/a> with your regular SIM card,<\/strong> every bit of data usage could spell disaster on your next cell phone bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do you use less data?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re relying on a prepaid eSIM data package or just trying to stay within your carrier\u2019s data limits, let\u2019s go through some of the easiest ways to force your phone to stop being a data-hog \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Review your data-sucking apps.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you start changing your app settings, it\u2019s a good idea to know how much data some of your favorite apps are actually using. The answer might surprise you! (For many of our aloSIM staffers, Amazon Music or Spotify took the top spot because people were streaming music using data while driving.)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to see data usage on an iPhone or iPad:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

* Open \u201cSettings\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Go to \u201cCellular\u201d or \u201cMobile Data\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Scroll down to see how much data each app is using<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to see data usage on a Google Pixel<\/a>:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

* Open \u201cSettings\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Select \u201cNetwork & Internet,\u201d then \u201cInternet\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Tap \u201cSettings\u201d next to the carrier to see total data usage<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Select \u201cApp data usage\u201d to view data usage by app<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to see data usage on a Samsung device:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

* Open \u201cSettings\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Select \u201cNetwork & Internet,\u201d then \u201cInternet\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Tap \u201cSettings\u201d next to the carrier to see total data usage<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Select \u201cApp data usage\u201d to view data usage by app<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Limit which apps can use data.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re trying to use less data, there\u2019s no need to have dozens of random apps sucking your available data. We recommend going through your list and deciding whether or not you really need a particular app to be powered by data.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s likely that many of your apps \u2014 like social media, games, utilities, and streaming services \u2014 can wait until you find a Wi-Fi connection, so you can do your best to conserve eSIM data.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s walk you through exactly where to decide which apps can use data. And remember, this doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t be able to use those apps. It just means your device won\u2019t let them use data (they will use Wi-Fi only) until you toggle them back on.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to restrict data from certain apps on an iPhone or iPad:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

* Open \u201cSettings\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Go to \u201cCellular\u201d or \u201cMobile Data\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Scroll down to view your list of apps<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Toggle OFF any apps you don\u2019t want using data, and they\u2019ll only work over Wi-Fi<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* If you decide you need to use one of these apps over data, just toggle it back on temporarily<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n \n \"How\n <\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is also possible to <\/span>disable location-based data usage! Leaving your location enabled will use major data, so follow the following steps to limit its usage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to limit location-based data usage on an iPhone or iPad:<\/b><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

*Turn off location-based apps like <\/span>Location Services and Find my iPhone from within the iCloud settings. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

*You can also limit (but not fully disable) System Services. Under Location Services, scroll to the bottom. Tap System Services > then begin toggling off anything you\u2019d like to conserve more data.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to limit location-based data usage on Android devices: <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Go to Settings > tap either \u201cConnections\u201d or \u201cPrivacy\u201d > tap Location, and toggle OFF.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Use Wi-Fi when you can.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Okay, this one\u2019s pretty obvious! But if you\u2019re being especially cautious about not using too much data, you\u2019re going to want to sniff out the nearest free Wi-Fi connection anywhere you go.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it's not possible to get a Wi-Fi connection, and that's why it's so handy to have mobile data anywhere you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you want to watch a two-hour long movie in your hotel room, maybe try to get onto a free Wi-Fi connection … instead of burning through your data because you don't feel like asking the front desk for the Wi-Fi password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Save data quickly by enabling low-data mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a quicker version of manually turning off Background App Refresh (or Data Saver on Android devices). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plenty of things can be downloaded ahead of time (with a Wi-Fi connection) so you don\u2019t have to stream them later and waste your data.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Download a Netflix show to watch later<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Download a region or directions on Google Maps to reference when you\u2019re on the road<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Download a few podcast episodes so you can listen offline<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Turn off background app refreshes.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even when you\u2019re not using them, your favorite apps are busily working in the background, trying to make things as up-to-date as possible so you have a great experience the next time you open them up.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, there are certain apps where you might want to dedicate a bit of data to keeping things running \u2014 email and photos are big ones\u2014 so choose carefully based on what you need to see\/use on a regular basis while you\u2019re traveling.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for the most part, these background app refreshes can waste a TON of data (as well as battery life). Luckily, they\u2019re easy to control.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to limit background app refreshes to Wi-Fi only on an iPhone or iPad:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

* Go to \u201cSettings\u201d > \u201cGeneral\u201d > \u201cBackground App Refresh\u201d, then select \u201cWi-Fi."<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n \n \"How\n <\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
How to limit background app refreshes to Wi-Fi only on a Google Pixel:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

* In Settings, select \u201cNetwork and Internet\u201d > \u201cData Saver\u201d, and turn it on.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* If a specific app needs background data, select \u201cUnrestricted data\u201d then choose apps to allow them to use data while Data Saver is on<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to limit background app refreshes to Wi-Fi only on a Samsung device:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

* In \u201cSettings\u201d, select \u201cConnections\u201d > \u201cData Usage\u201d > \u201cMobile Data Usage\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Select the app to limit, then toggle \u201cAllow background data usage\u201d off<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
How to limit background app refreshes to Wi-Fi only on a different Android phone:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

* In Settings, tap \u201cConnections\u201d > \u201cData Usage\u201d > \u201cMobile data usage\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Select the app you wish to limit, and toggle \u201cAllow background data usage\u201d off<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Turn off automatic updates and downloads.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While it\u2019s great to have the newest and greatest version of an app (and believe us, we always want people to have the latest and greatest version of aloSIM), these auto-updates can require data. If you\u2019re really trying to use less data, tell your device not to update apps willy-nilly over a data connection.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to turn off app updates in the App Store:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

* In \u201cSettings\u201d, select \u201cApp Store\u201d, and scroll down to \u201cCellular Data\u201d and toggle off<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Then, ensure \u201cAutomatic Downloads\u201d is toggled off, and set \u201cApp Downloads\u201d to \u201cAlways Ask\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you're an iCloud user, it's also a good idea to toggle data off for "iCloud Drive" and "iCloud Backup," so it will only back up when you're connected to Wi-Fi.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n \n \"Save\n <\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
How to turn off app updates in Google Play:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

* In the Play Store app, tap your profile photo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* In \u201cSettings\u201d, tap \u201cNetwork Preferences\u201d > \u201cAuto-update apps\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Choose \u201cOver Wi-Fi only\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n \n \"Make\n <\/picture>\n
Make sure 'iCloud Drive' is toggled off, so your iPhone can only do backups when you're connected to Wi-Fi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
How to prevent iCloud backups over data:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

* Go to \u201cSettings\u201d > \u201cCellular\u201d > Scroll down to "iCloud Drive" and toggle it off<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Force your browser to use less data.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re browsing the web using mobile data, you want to make sure you\u2019re using as little data as possible. Google\u2019s Chrome app used to have a Data Saver mode, but in early 2022 it was replaced with a bandwidth feature to help users manage their internet data.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to limit data usage in the Chrome app:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

* Open the Chrome app and select the three dots in the bottom right corner<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Scroll right to select \u201cSettings\u201d, then scroll down and select \u201cBandwidth\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* For \u201cPreload Webpages,\u201d select \u201cOnly on Wi-Fi\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n \n \"Save\n <\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

8. Turn off video auto-play.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Streaming a video is one of the fastest ways to waste data, so if you really want to be data-cautious, open \u201cSettings\u201d in your Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter apps and toggle off the ability for videos to play automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Reset your statistics.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Okay, so you probably feel like you\u2019ve limited data to as many apps as possible and properly configured your settings, right? Now it\u2019s time to reset your data usage statistics<\/a> so you can track how well your efforts are working.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On an iPhone or iPad, you\u2019ll do this by going to \u201cSettings,\u201d then \u201cCellular,\u201d and scrolling all the way down to \u201cReset Statistics.\u201d Once you confirm the action, your data usage totals for every app will reset.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n \n \"How\n <\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\n\n \n \"How\n <\/picture>\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now it will only show how much data you\u2019re using from this moment forward, and you\u2019ll be able to see if you\u2019ve missed any data-sucking apps.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Know your limits.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unless you know exactly how much data you\u2019re going to allow yourself to use, you\u2019ll drive yourself crazy wondering if you\u2019re nearing this invisible data cap.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you're using an eSIM data package from aloSIM, you check your aloSIM data balance<\/a> anytime by going into your aloSIM account (either using our free app, or logging in on alosim.com) and selecting "My eSIMs." Then just check the data balance remaining on a particular eSIM card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We make it easy to see how much data you have remaining in your prepaid data package. But if you run low, don't worry! You can easily top up your eSIM<\/a> anytime with a fresh package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. In a pinch, switch it off.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you've followed all of these steps and you're still scrambling not to use more data, you always have the option to turn on Airplane Mode<\/a> or just switch off your eSIM<\/a> and only rely on Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switching your eSIM off (or disabling a SIM card temporarily) is fast and easy. You\u2019ll still be able to use Wi-Fi to power your apps, and you can switch it back on anytime when you need data.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
