1️⃣ Disable Wi-Fi Assist
1️⃣ Disable Wi-Fi Assist
Many smartphones automatically switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data when they detect a weak Wi-Fi connection. This feature is designed to keep your internet stable, but it can unexpectedly consume large amounts of mobile data without you realizing it.
For example, if you’re connected to weak or slow Wi-Fi, your phone might seamlessly switch to cellular data even if you think you’re only using Wi-Fi. This can lead to unintended data usage, especially if you’re streaming videos, downloading files, or using high-data apps.
📌 Why Should You Disable It?
✅ Prevents unwanted mobile data consumption when Wi-Fi is unstable.
✅ Ensures your phone stays on Wi-Fi, even if the connection weakens.
✅ Gives you full control over when your phone uses mobile data.

If you want a quick and effective way to reduce data consumption, adjusting your data mode settings is the best solution. Instead of manually tweaking individual app settings, this system-wide change ensures that your device operates in low data mode, automatically restricting background data usage and unnecessary consumption.
📌 Why This Step Is the Most Efficient?
✅ Applies system-wide: no need to adjust each app manually.
✅ Automatically limits background data: prevents apps from consuming data when not in use.
✅ Stops automatic updates & syncs: reduces hidden data drains.
✅ Optimises streaming & browsing: helps apps use less data without losing functionality.
