Saving data in applications

A function that is not exclusive to One UI or a personalization layer, but which is important to use in order to reduce that consumption of mobile data. Many applications on Android, more and more, have some kind of data saving mode. Think of apps like social networks, Google Chrome, Spotify and others. Using this function will reduce this data consumption in an effective way, especially in those apps that you use more frequently.

So it may be worth activating this option in applications that have it, in order to have less data consumption without too much effort. Using it may make some photos, videos or web pages load a little slower, but it does not usually affect the user experience.
