Are you tired of paying inflated mobile bills because of heavy data usage ? Are you thinking what actually is eating up your data ? If these questions have arrived in your mind , then I have a solution for you . There are 5 simple ways to decrease your data usage .

1. Disable unnecessary push notifications ; push notifications can lead to higher usage of the data packet , as many apps generate unnecessary push notification . Many apps lead to some promotional content through push messages .

3. Disable auto-download on WhatsApp ; most WhatsApp users who are a part of different groups receive multiple forwards in the form of a pic or a video . These unnecessary usage of data can be stopped by disabling the auto-download feature . 
4. Do you watch a lot of videos on YouTube or listen to a lot of songs online ?If yes , then you should know that in the bandwidth offered is not good and data packets are highly expensive . Its good to subscribe to a paid plan of a streaming service rather than listen it online every time and loose out a lot of data .
5. Do you read a lot of online articles on your phone ? If yes then use the compression feature of your browser . Chrome has a ' Reduce data usage ' setting to make the size of the web pages you visit smaller . Opera also offers Max , a free data-savings and data-management app that compresses videos, images, and other media files to reduce the data .
