Data Tips - How to Limit Background Data iPhone

Control your data. Save more. Stay connected longer.

Some apps continue to use data even when you’re not actively using them — this is called background data. Here’s how to stop that and keep your data in check.

 

 For iPhone (iOS) Users:

✅ Option 1: Turn Off Mobile Data for Specific Apps

  1. Open Settings
  2. Tap Mobile Data
  3. Scroll down to see all apps
  4. Toggle OFF any app you don’t want using mobile data

🔹 The app will only work on Wi-Fi once turned off.

✅ Option 2: Turn Off Background App Refresh

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Tap General > Background App Refresh
  3. Choose Off or Wi-Fi only

🔹 This stops apps from updating in the background when you’re not using them.
