YouTube has become a service for everything. For everything you are looking for, you have an answer in video form, although unlike the search engine, not all videos offer us real solutions to what we are looking for, since some are focused on clickbait to attract visitors without actually offering a solution to the problem.
If you are one of those who uses YouTube instead of Google, and every month it costs you more make ends meet with your data rateYou should give the trick that we show you in this article a try, a trick that will allow you to reduce mobile data while using YouTube.
The YouTube app, adapts the quality of the viewing to our connection speed, so the higher it is, the higher quality we will be able to see the videos on our smartphone, a nonsense that I explain below.
However large the screens of some smartphones are, these devices are not ideal for enjoying the highest quality video of this platform, being a computer or a tablet the best option. Despite this, if the connection is good enough, the application will show us the videos in HD, a function that fortunately we can limit to only the Wi-Fi connection.
Reduce data consumption on YouTube
To reduce the data consumption of the YouTube application, we must disable the option to play HD videos through a mobile data connection by following the steps that I show you below.
- First, we access the Settings from YouTube and click on Configuration.
- Within Settings, we access the option General.
- Inside Genera, we must deactivate the switch Limit mobile data (Play HD videos only with Wi-Fi).
Thank you, it has been a great help. Those of us who are basic in these struggles need this type of information
