Need to Save Bandwidth on Your iPhone? Try Low Data Mode

Need to Save Bandwidth on Your iPhone? Try Low Data Mode

Even with 5G cellular connectivity and high-speed Wi-Fi networks, if you need to save bandwidth on Amherst connections, there are plenty of times when reducing data usage makes sense. Perhaps you’re trying to avoid running over a data cap while traveling, or maybe you’re sharing a Wi-Fi network with a very slow Internet connection. Either way, you can prevent your iPhone from using more data than necessary by enabling Low Data Mode. For cellular, find the switch in Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options. For Wi-Fi, in Settings > Wi-Fi, tap the i button next to the network you’re using. In either case, make sure to turn Low Data Mode off once you no longer need it to avoid getting confused about why background sync tasks don’t complete. We serve Buffalo, Amherst, and Western New York.
