Where mobile traffic is spent ?
Don’t know where your mobile internet goes? Here are a few points that will help you figure out what your traffic can be spent on:
1) Software updates through the Play Market or AppStore
If you have automatic app updates or updates via cellular data turned on, then this is certainly one of the reasons for the leakage of mobile Internet traffic:
– In “Settings”, enable app updates only over WiFi
Wi-Fi (short for ‘Wireless-Fidelity’) is the name commonly given to wireless networks that conform to the 802.11 specification laid down by IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers). Wi-Fi provides fast data transfer rates and has become almost ubiquitous in recent years. Most computing devices are Wi-Fi-enabled.

.
– Do not update apps when mobile internet is on.
2) Device software update via mobile internet
Update Software (for example, a new version of the operating system) of the device usually consumes a lot of traffic, so you should ensure that the system is not updated until the device has access to a wi-fi network. WiFi

3) Programs running in the background
Even those applications that do not seem to require an Internet connection can consume your traffic, as many of them have ads that “pull” it.
4) Widget operation
In most cases, widgets update themselves, so if you have added a lot of widgets to your desktop, be prepared that they will consume traffic.
How to solve this problem?
To save mobile Internet traffic, you should:
– disable automatic update applications.
– avoid installing applications containing ads.
– turn off mobile Internet when you do not need it.
