you can actually disable mobile data for
0:13
apps if you have wifi internet access at
0:17
home especially if it's unlimited
0:19
internet of course all your apps all
0:22
your services can run at that time
0:25
without impact on your spending where
0:29
spending becomes a critical thing is
0:32
with mobile data especially when you are
0:34
out of the house or out of the office
0:36
and have no access to your unlimited
0:39
internet via Wi-Fi and then that is when
0:43
high consumption of apps like Tik Tok
0:46
Instagram Facebook maybe even Twitter
0:49
come to play those are some of the top
0:51
data consuming apps on my smartphone for
0:54
my personal usage and I can imagine for
0:56
a lot of people it's that rabbit hole
0:58
thing you get on Tik Tok and video after
1:01
video after video you get on Instagram
1:04
the same thing for some people YouTube
1:08
fortunately for me YouTube is work so
1:10
that's fine now what's the point I'm
1:13
making you can actually disable mobile
1:17
data for those data gozzling apps so
1:21
that when you are away from Wi-Fi
1:24
coverage from unlimited internet via
1:26
Wi-Fi those apps do not work and do not
1:29
consume resume any of your mobile data
1:31
but as soon as you step back into your
1:33
office or into your home where you have
1:36
a Wi-Fi connection those apps start
1:39
working all of a sudden now the beauty
1:42
of it is this I say to people when I go
1:45
out it's either I'm going out to run an
1:47
errand or I'm going out for an
1:50
appointment or I'm going out to go hang
1:52
out or I'm going out to go dance I'm
1:55
going out to do something do I really
1:58
need to have Tik Tok and Instagram and
2:04
Facebook running while I am out and
2:07
about the answer to that is simple right
2:10
personally I don't and the interesting
2:13
thing about this apps is that many times
2:15
they are running in the background even
2:16
if you don't open them they running in
2:18
the background and consuming your data
2:21
so here is how I successfully turned off
2:27
mobile data for this specific apps go to
2:31
the settings of your Android smartphone
2:34
type data usage in the
2:49
see the apps that are chopping your data
2:53
okay so under Network assistant look for
2:57
Network management type on that
3:00
and here you are with the list of all
3:05
apps and you can see there are two
3:10
columns on the right one for mobile data
3:13
one for Wi-Fi most apps as you can see
3:16
have both mobile data and Wi-Fi turned
3:19
on but when you get to Facebook here you
3:23
can see that mobile data is off I could
3:26
turn it on by tapping on that but I
3:28
prefer to leave it off
3:30
what this means is that when I am
3:32
outside of the house and outside of work
3:36
where I have Wi-Fi access Facebook does
3:39
not work if you scroll down you will see
3:42
that Instagram also has the mobile data
3:48
option disabled and if you scroll down
3:52
to Tik Tok I have the mobile data option
3:55
disabled I think I should do it for X as
4:00
I don't spend a lot of time any longer
4:02
on X there's really nothing going on
4:05
there for me I don't know maybe I should
4:06
leave it it's just there but this is the
4:12
whenever I am out of Wi-Fi uh
4:16
coverage every other app
4:18
works except for these ones that I have
4:21
disabled mobile data for let me turn off
4:25
my Wi-Fi now and then launch Tik Tok so
4:29
that you can and see what
4:33
happens Tik Tok says data consumption
4:37
12.24 gigabyte Tik Tok has been banned
4:40
from using mobile networks do you want
4:42
to lift this restriction of course the
4:44
option to lift the Restriction is there
4:45
if you absolutely need to use it while
4:47
you're out and about I'll just tap on
4:50
lift and follow the process to get it
4:54
connected to mobile network and I get my
4:56
job done let's see for Instagram as as
5:00
well see couldn't refresh feed it says
5:04
Instagram has been banned this is
5:06
because I am on mobile data now if I
5:09
turn on my Wi-Fi back and then try to
5:14
access this apps again see it
5:26
working as before not a
5:30
problem so that's it guys that's how to
5:35
turn off or disable mobile data for
5:37
specific apps in your phone mobile data
5:41
is costly really really costly so if
5:45
this applies to you please use it thank
5:48
me later I'll see you in my next video
