Simple iPhone App Settings to Check Out Today – Save Money with One Tap

Apple’s popular iPhone is getting a little more expensive to use, as all major networks are increasing their prices this month. If your monthly contract price just went up by about 7%, and the increase is already hurting your finances, now is a good time to make sure you don’t go over your data limit.

Unless you have an unlimited contract, your network will only give you a certain amount of internet access per month when you’re away from Wi-Fi. Depending on how much you pay, it can range from around 100MB to over 100GB.

Once you reach the limit, you may have to pay extra to get your iPhone back online, and extra data doesn’t come cheap. For example, EE charges over £4 for an additional 250MB of data. That’s enough money to stream Netflix for about 20 minutes before you run out of data again.

If you find yourself constantly running out of data each month, Apple offers a simple setting to help you track which apps are consuming your usage.

To see which applications are the worst culprits,[設定]Move to[モバイル サービス]Tap. Here you will see a complete list of all apps on your phone and how much mobile data they used.

To get a better idea of ​​what’s happening each month, scroll to the bottom of the list and[統計をリセット]Tap. This will clear all old numbers and display the data that was used from the date of the reset.

Enter a month’s worth of reminders in your calendar, then return to your mobile service settings to see which services are eating up your pocket money.

Of course, many apps require data to work properly, but if you start to run out of data, you can turn off the respective app. Simply flip the on/off switch next to an app to prevent it from accessing your mobile data.

Here’s what’s used in the 1-hour stream:

• 1 hour of streaming music on Spotify = 150MB

• 1 hour of Netflix streaming = 700MB medium quality

• 1 hour of Netflix streaming = 3GB of top quality

• 1 hour YouTube streaming = 600MB low quality
