Allow unrestricted data usage to certain apps

If you want to allow unrestricted data usage for specific apps on your Android device while using Data Saver mode or for any other reason, you can do so by following these steps:

Allow unrestricted data usage to certain apps
  1. Open the “Settings” App: Navigate to the “Settings” app on your Android device.
  2. Go to “Network & Internet” or “Connections”: The option might be labeled differently depending on your device and Android version.
  3. Tap on “Data usage” or “Mobile data usage”: This will show you a list of apps and their data usage.
  4. Select the App You Want to Allow Unrestricted Data Usage: Scroll through the list of apps and tap on the app for which you want to allow unrestricted data usage.
  5. Toggle on “Unrestricted data usage”: You should see an option called “Unrestricted data usage” or something similar. Toggle this switch on to allow the app to use data without restriction even when Data Saver mode is enabled.
  6. Repeat for Other Apps (if necessary): If you want to allow unrestricted data usage for multiple apps, repeat the process for each app individually.
  7. Exit the Settings App: Once you’ve allowed unrestricted data usage for the desired apps, you can exit the “Settings” app.

Now, the selected apps will be able to use mobile data without restrictions, even when Data Saver mode is turned on. This can be useful for apps that you want to ensure have access to data at all times, such as messaging or navigation apps.

That allowing unrestricted data usage for multiple apps may increase your mobile data usage, so it’s important to monitor your data usage if you have a limited data plan.
