Prevent mobile data waste with "iOS 15"-a setting that should be disabled

　Apple wants to keep the user's "iPhone" connected to the Internet at all times, and has incorporated many functions into "iOS" that make use of the constant connection to the Internet. There is also a problem with this. Those settings can seriously impact mobile data plans, forcing users to be throttled by their providers or forced to pay extra fees.

　I don't mind paying for things that I use, but I don't mind paying for something that runs in the background of my iPhone and I doubt if it will be of any benefit to me. There is

Therefore, in this article, we will introduce the "iOS 15" settings that are likely to affect your data plan.

　Even if you choose an unlimited plan, please be aware that your provider may limit the amount of high-speed bandwidth available.

Backing up via mobile communication

　To access this setting, open "Settings", tap your name at the top of the screen, and select "iCloud Backup ” (iCloud Backup). Then tap "Back Up Over Cellular" to turn it off.

　This is one of the settings that Apple warns that "this may cause you to exceed your mobile data plan". With that in mind, it's probably a good idea to turn off this setting if you have time to use Wi-Fi.

Photos

To access this setting, go to "Settings" > "Photos" > "Cellular Data". There are two settings here. "Cellular Data," which uses a lot of mobile data, and "Unlimited Updates," which Apple warns may "be over your cellular data plan." .

　Users take many pictures. Sending them via mobile communication consumes a lot of data.

　I turn off both "Cellular Data" (mobile data communication) and "Unlimited Updates" (no update limit). Both are data and battery hungry.

"iCloud Drive"

　To access this setting, go to "Settings" > "Cellular" > "iCloud Drive" (you need to scroll to the bottom) ) and tap the switch to turn it off.

Depending on how often you use apps such as "Pages" and "Numbers", this setting may not be important, or it may have a large impact on data usage. But if you don't have anything important to back up to iCloud immediately, I recommend turning this setting off and syncing your documents when connected to Wi-Fi.

Browser preload

　The location of this setting depends on the browser you use, so people using different browsers may need to search.

　The browser behaves smartly and tries to make the operating speed appear faster than it actually is. One way to do that is with a preload of top search results. Sure, this helps save time, but it's also one of the features that can waste bandwidth.
