About background data
Even when you're not actively using them, most apps use data in the background to sync information and
deliver notifications.
To conserve data when you're running low, you can use Data Saver to turn off background data for all apps.
Or, to restrict background data used by an app indefinitely, you can turn off background data specifically for
that app.
Notifications only when you open the app
When you turn off background data for an app, it won't sync until you open it, so you will receive NO
notifications until you open the app and it syncs.
