Your quota often runs out quickly without realizing it? Do you often lose playing games because you run out of internet quota? Often internet packages are not sufficient for monthly needs and make us have to buy a new internet quota before the previous package expires.
Don't worry, you can see some of the following ways to save your quota so that your quota doesn't run out quickly and playing games go smoother.
1. Use a wi-fi connection
You can take advantage of the existing wi-fi connection at the home, office, and other public spaces to save on your internet quota. By taking advantage of this wi-fi connection, you can use the internet freely, including updating applications and operating systems, without thinking about quota limits.
However, you need to pay attention to some things when using a wi-fi connection in public spaces. Ensure you don't access sensitive information such as personal data, don't turn on automatic wi-fi mode, and check if the wi-fi connection is trusted. This is because using wi-fi in public spaces with untrusted connections is prone to be used for personal data theft by fraudsters with various modes of online fraud.
2. Limit app updates using cellular networks
There is an automatic application update feature for Android users, usually on cell phones. Without you knowing it, this feature can use up your quota because it will update the application you have without a reminder or your approval when updating the application.
You can turn off this feature and update applications and your mobile operating system when connected to a Wi-Fi connection. In this way, you can save your internet quota.
3. Avoid excessive online streaming
For those of you who like to spend time streaming online videos on social media such as YouTube and watching Korean movies or dramas on online streaming platforms, you should be able to manage these habits, so you don't overdo it.
You can provide a limit or time duration per day for how long or the total videos/films you watch. So, you can avoid opening the application for a long duration which consumes a lot of internet quota.
4. Avoid backing up files using the internet from mobile networks
Suppose you have several large files that you want to save and back up to the Cloud platform, Google Drive, or even back up all conversations on the WhatsApp application. In that case, you should avoid uploading these large files using cellular network data because it will use up a fairly large amount of internet quota. You better do it when connected to a wi-fi connection.
5. Turn off sync
You can disable the synchronization of some unnecessary applications if you use several applications on different devices. This is because synchronizing multiple application accounts can use a lot of data quota. Disabling synchronization is one way to get around wasting your internet data quota.
6. Avoid automatic downloads
This way of saving quota is perfect for those who often use chat applications like WhatsApp. This application also consumes quite a lot of quotas when you automatically download files, images, or videos shared via WhatsApp messages.
