I have heard many people complaining about their Android devices consuming a lot of their Mobile Data Bundles commonly refered to as "MBs". Okay, here is the perfect solution to that problem. Just download and install NoRoot Firewall, restart your device and deny access to all apps that you don't want to access the internet. Please stop blaming internet providers and tame your device. It works like a charm, you will be shocked.
How It Works:
Android:
Most of the apps on your Android device probably require a data
connection, and you may not even know when they are sending or receiving
data. NoRoot Firewall puts you in control of Internet access for apps,
as well as how they can access it.
As the name
suggests, the app doesn't require you to root your Android. Instead, it
creates a VPN and diverts all the traffic on your phone through it.
This way, you can choose which traffic you want to allow and which you
want to stop. When any app tries to access the Internet, you'll get an
alert where you can allow or deny it and save the setting for the
future. This level of control can also let you see when a certain app is
accessing data for ads and block it.
NoRoot Firewall also gives you the option to set up filters, both globally as
well as for individual apps. Much like a VPN on your PC, these filters
let you allow or deny connections to certain IP addresses.
My favorite
part of the app is in its ability to specify if an app can access the
Internet only over Wi-Fi, only over 3G/Data, neither or both. It gives
you the control to tell your Dropbox or Play Store to only download when
you're on Wi-Fi, or set some other app to be active only on 3G.
There's
some bad news for 4G users though as NoRoot Firewall does not work well
with 4G at the moment. And I'd like to issue a word of caution: while using the app, those who are a bit careful about their privacy may
not want an app that gets control over all the data transfers on their
device.
