Background data refers to the internet usage by apps running in the background, even when you are not actively using them. While this helps apps stay updated and send notifications, it can quickly drain your data and battery life.
Key impacts of background data usage:
Data consumption: Apps like email clients and social media platforms frequently sync, using a significant portion of your monthly data allowance.
Battery drain: Continuous syncing and updates put extra pressure on your mobile’s battery, leading to shorter battery life.
Reduced performance: Excessive background activity can slow down your device, especially if it has limited RAM or processing power.
Restricting background data not only saves resources but also improves your mobile’s performance. If your device does not allow efficient management of background data, consider upgrading to the latest models. Bajaj Finserv offers a variety of mobiles on Easy EMIs, ensuring affordability without compromising on performance.
How to restrict background data on Android devices
Follow these steps to manage background data on your Android phone:
Turn off background data for specific apps: Navigate to Settings, then select Apps from the menu. Choose the app you wish to manage and tap on Data usage. From there, simply disable the background data option to prevent the app from consuming data while it s running in the background. This ensures that the app only uses data when actively in use, helping you save on mobile data.
Use data saver mode: To restrict all apps from using data in the background, open Settings and navigate to Connections, then select Data usage. Within this menu, enable Data Saver to limit background data usage across all apps, ensuring efficient use of your mobile data.
Disable auto-sync for apps: To stop apps from constantly syncing and using data unnecessarily, go to Settings and select Accounts and Sync. Here, you can turn off auto-sync for apps that do not require frequent updates, helping you save data and improve battery efficiency.
If your mobile is not compatible with these features, upgrading to a newer model could be a practical solution. Explore

How to restrict background data on iOS devices
For iPhones, restricting background data is a great way to improve battery life and manage data usage effectively. Here is how you can do it:
- Disable background app refresh: To disable background app refresh, open Settings and go to General. From there, select Background App Refresh and set it to Off to completely disable it.
- Restrict data usage for apps: Alternatively, you can choose to limit it to Wi-Fi only, ensuring apps only refresh when connected to a Wi-Fi network.
- If you want to restrict data usage for specific apps, navigate to Settings and select Mobile Data. Scroll through the list of apps and disable mobile data access for those you do not frequently use. This will help prevent unnecessary data consumption.
- Turn on Low Data Mode: Another useful method is turning on Low Data Mode. Head to Settings, then open Mobile Data, followed by Data Options. Enable Low Data Mode to limit data usage across all apps on your device, making your phone more efficient with data management.
