Tips for Getting the Most from Your Data

- Turn off cellular data for apps you only use on Wi-Fi.
- Uninstall unnecessary apps or widgets. Some apps consume data even when your screen is off.
- Disable automatic video play on Facebook while on cellular data.
- Keep an eye on your usage. Emails use very little data, whereas online gaming and streaming consume much more.
