How to stop your YouTube use from burning through your mobile plan


YouTube is a major consumer of mobile data. — AFP Relaxnews

When you have a mobile plan, the majority of your data consumption is usually spent watching streaming videos. YouTube will soon make it possible to economise on some of this data thanks to new settings that users can configure.

Whether on Android or iOS, it will be possible to activate a data saver mode. Until now it was possible to choose the “auto mode”, which is supposed to adjust video resolution to the quality of the user's connection – now users of the platform will be able to set a specific image quality, higher or lower, by default.
