Controlling Data Usage

You can keep track of the amount of data transferred to and from your device over your
cellular data or Wi-Fi connection during a given period. For example, you can view the
amount of data used by individual applications. For data transferred over your cellular
data connection, you can also set data usage warnings and limits to avoid additional
charges.
Adjusting data usage settings can help you keep greater control over data usage, but
cannot guarantee the prevention of additional charges.
To help reduce data usage
1 From your Home screen, tap
2 Find and tap Settings > Data usage > Data Saver.
3 Tap the slider to enable or disable the function.
To turn data traffic on or off
1 From your Home screen, tap
2 Find and tap Settings > Data usage.
3 Tap the Mobile data traffic slider to turn data traffic on or off.
When data traffic is turned off, your device can still establish Wi-Fiand Bluetooth®
