    there is no need for any optimizations really. if you run out of data, ask people to gift some. if you find you dont use as much data, you can gift to others who ask.

    Configure data on GPS positions, apps, etc.

    Ex.: For me, 15 or 16 meg day to 5 or 6 only Once properly set up

    Close all of possible. Update with Wifi if possible..

    Also:
    - Use browsers like Google Chrome or Opera Mini, which have data-saving modes that compress images and webpages.
    - Turn off automatic app updates and syncs. Update apps manually when connected to Wi-Fi.
    - Set lower streaming quality for apps like YouTube, Netflix, or Spotify to reduce data usage.

    If you use Messenger (Facebook) a lot, here's how to avoid loading media automatically:

    1. Disable Automatic Media Downloads:
      • Open Messenger → Tap on your Profile picture in the top left.
      • Scroll down and select Photos & Media.
      • Turn off Download Photos Automatically and Download Videos Automatically. This will prevent media from loading unless you tap to download it manually.
    2. Use Lite Versions of Apps:
      • You can install Messenger Lite, which consumes less data compared to the regular Messenger app. It also avoids automatically loading high-res images or videos unless requested.

    enable power saving mode to reduce unnecessary data consumption for apps running in background : you can save some data over time and also expand your battery life cycle.

    disable unnecessary apps you have never or rarely use or simply uninstall them (free up space, reduce clutter, improve security,)

    update your apps regularly as well as your OS

    prefer a security-focused browser such as Brave or DuckDuckGo to reduce unnecessary requests made by ads.

    change permissions for apps, by default they are very permissive : apply the least privilege principle.
