In this day and age, staying connected is essential. However, whether we like it or not, most mobile data plans put a limit on our data usage each month.

Browsing through Social Media may be fine, but downloading and streaming content can easily eat up on your monthly data allocation.

Reaching your data cap means that you cannot stay online for the rest of the month. Worse, you may be allowed to go online but it also means a huge bill by month’s end.

  1. Go to Settings → Connections → Data Usage
  2. From there, you can set a limit or data cap for a certain time period or billing cycle (a week, month, etc).
  3. You may also press the Menu option and tap “Restrict Background Data Usage.” This option will help you manage your data usage, especially for apps that run in the background (such as Instagram and Messenger). However, this also means that the apps may stop working properly.

To check WiFi usage on the Nokia 2 2, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings → Connections → Data Usage
  2. From there, tap on the Menu button (3 vertical dots on the upper-right corner of the screen).
  3. Tap on “Show WiFi” then “Wi-Fi data usage.”

Alternatively, some Android handsets may need to follow these steps below:

  1. Go to Settings → WiFi & Internet → Data Usage
  2. Tap WiFi Data Usage to view WiFi stats.
  3. From this menu, you can also view data/WiFi usage per app.

The methods above generally work for most Android phone devices. Some handsets may have slight variations, you should just look for something similar Connections, Networks, or Data Usage menus.

Huawei users however have to follow a different process. Below is a short guide to check data and WiFi usage for Huawei phone users:

  2. From there, you can view your data usage for the month.
  3. You also have a Smart Data Saver feature. You may turn that on if you want to.
  4. You can also tap on the apps which are shown to be big data consumers and adjust their usage/consumption accordingly.
  5. You may also set a limit by tapping “More Data Settings” then “Monthly Data Limit.”
