About background data
Even when you’re not actively using them, most apps use data in the background to sync information and
deliver notifications.
To conserve data when you’re running low, you can use Data Saver to turn off background data for all apps.
Or, to restrict background data used by an app indefinitely, you can turn off background data specifically for
that app.
Notifications only when you open the app
When you turn off background data for an app, it won't sync until you open it, so you will receive NO
notifications until you open the app and it syncs.
Restrict for all apps when you’re low
1. Go to Settings > Network & internet > Data Saver.
Or go to Settings > Network & internet > Advanced > Data Saver.
2.
Turn Use Data Saver on .
You'll see in your status bar and all apps are prevented from using background data.
Tip: The first time you turn Data Saver on, is added to quick settings. After that, just swipe the
status bar down and touch to turn Data Saver off/on.
3. To allow certain apps to continue using background data, touch Unrestricted data access, then next to
the app name, slide the switch on .
