Be Smart and Save your Data


In this ‘apptastic’ world of smartphones, the only thing that restricts your access to almost anything in this world is your data plan. The phones are getting smarter day by day and the apps are hence becoming data hungry. Most of the apps run in background, thus resulting in data consumption that ultimately leads to premature exhaustion of your data plan. Now, the thing is that most of these apps have to run in background and use data in order to function properly.
Despite all the necessities of data usage, there is a way to save your data without putting any limit to it and the way is through your web browser. Every time we browse, we end up wasting lots of MBs without noticing it. The reason being the non-mobile friendly website and the pop-ups, which uses data in the heaviest manner. So to save the data, data compression can be done in the browser (Chrome and Opera). After the data compression feature is switched on, the browser loads a website and sends the first request to Google or Opera’s server instead of sending it to website’s server. Then the browser’s server downloads the page along with the images. The web page is compressed on the browser’s server and then it is sent to the phone, thus taking less space. Images are also trans-coded to be smaller and take only need based space. So next time when you use you M-tech smartphone remember to compress the web page and save your data.
