Optimising Data Efficiency on iOS Devices

For Apple enthusiasts keen on conserving their cellular data, iOS 13 and subsequent versions offer a beneficial feature known as Low Data Mode. This tool is adept at reducing your data usage across both cellular and Wi-Fi connections, allowing them to be managed separately to fit your needs.

Activating Low Data Mode:

  1. Open Settings: Initiate by tapping on the Settings icon.
  2. Select Cellular/Mobile Data: Choose Cellular if you’re using a device from the US or Mobile Data for others.
  3. Choose Your SIM: Tap on the SIM option you wish to adjust.
  4. Find Data Mode: Scroll to and select Data Mode.
  5. Turn On Low Data Mode: Enable the Low Data Mode to start conserving data.

Turning Off Wi-Fi Assist and iCloud Backup:

Wi-Fi Assist and iCloud Backup are typically set to operate automatically, which might not be ideal for those looking to save on data. Wi-Fi Assist keeps your device connected to the internet even with a weak Wi-Fi signal by using cellular data, while iCloud Backup can consume data by backing up files over a cellular connection.

  1. Access Settings: Head back to Settings.
  2. Navigate to Cellular/Mobile Data: As before, choose the correct option based on your region.
  3. Disable Unnecessary Features: Scroll to find Wi-Fi Assist and iCloud Backup and toggle them off to prevent automatic data consumption.

These strategies provide a straightforward approach to manage and minimize data usage on your iOS device, ensuring you stay within your data plan limits without sacrificing connectivity.
