To disable background data on your Android device, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings: Open the Settings app on your phone.
- Navigate to Network & internet: Look for and tap on "Network & internet." Depending on your Android version, this might also be labeled "Connections" or something similar.
- Select Mobile network: Tap on "Mobile network." This option may be labeled as "Cellular network" on some devices.
- Access App data usage: Under "Mobile network", find and tap on "App data usage." This will show you a list of apps and how much data they've used.
- Restrict Background Data for a Specific App:
- Tap on the app you want to restrict.
- Toggle the switch next to "Background data" to the off position. This will prevent the app from using data when you're not actively using it.
By disabling background data, you can conserve mobile data and potentially improve battery life. This prevents apps from syncing, downloading updates, or performing other data-intensive tasks in the background.
