Tech Tips: Battery and data saving starts as soon as you change these settings of your smartphone! Know how..

Does your smartphone need frequent charging? Does your internet data run out in a few hours? If yes, then you will be surprised to know that it is not the excessive use of any app, but a hidden setting of your phone that may be responsible for this.

The game is hidden in the settings.
Nowadays, almost every Android smartphone has some such settings already active, which unknowingly drain both your data and battery quickly. The good news is that it is very easy to turn off this setting, and after this, your data will last a little longer, as well as battery consumption will also be less.

How to change the settings
For this, first go to the Settings of your phone. Scroll down there and go to the Google section. Here you will find an option called Google Services & Preferences.

Turn off data sharing.
Now go into it and tap on "Personalize using shared data". Here you will see three options - Gmail, External Media, and Device Contacts. Chances are that all three options will already be on. Turn them off.

Not just this, turn off these settings in the future as well.

After this, go back to Google Settings and tap on Usage & Diagnostics. Turn this off as well. This will stop Google from collecting your phone's usage reports and diagnostic data. The result will be that your phone's battery and data consumption will be reduced.

Give limited access to third-party apps.
Apart from this, give limited access to third-party apps as much as possible. Control app permissions and background data access to prevent social media apps, especially apps like Instagram, from tracking your activity.

You will get longer battery life.
Changing these small settings will save both your data and battery. Also, you will see fewer unwanted ads, because your personal data will reach fewer apps.
