    Whether you’re on prepaid or contract the fact remains, no one really likes racking up a huge bill for the data they use.

    The internet is full of horror stories of people receiving nasty bills come the end of the month, and sometimes it’s as simple as a new app update that causes all the hassle.

    If you happen to be using Android, Google have a few tips that will really help you cut back.

    We’ll run through them with the help of BusinessTech:

    Turn on Chrome Data Saver Mode

    Reduce the amount of data used by your Android mobile device or computer by turning on Chrome Data Saver Mode.

    From compressing web pages to removing images when loading a page on a slow connection, you’re able to save up to 70% more data.

    Use offline YouTube videos

    Use offline YouTube videos and watch them as often as you like without using data or buffering each time with YouTube Offline.

    Use Google Maps without using any data

    Download an area of the world and seamlessly use Maps features like turn-by-turn navigation and access useful location information without a network connection using Google Maps Offline.

    Identify and remove data intensive apps

    Identify and remove data intensive apps by going to Settings > Data Usage on your Android device. You may be surprised to see data being used by apps you hardly touch.

    Disable auto-updating apps

    Disable auto-updating apps on your Android device by opening Google Play and tapping the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines) on the top left of the screen.

    Go to Settings > tap Auto-update apps > select Do not auto-update apps or Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi.

    Voila, look at all that extra data.

    You should probably put it to good use and peruse 2OV on your mobile when out and about – just an idea.
