One of the risks of using an Android phone is that you will buy internet quota very often.
That’s because on an Android phone, almost all applications installed in it currently require an internet connection in order to work optimally.
Very different when compared to feature phones. The internet is only used when you open a browser and visit a site.
After the browser is closed, there will be no more used internet quota. In fact, many feature phones are not equipped with a browser at all .
As a result, you don’t need internet at all when using the phone.
Very different from when using a smart phone or Android cellphone.
If you are a Xiaomi cellphone user , there are actually ways you can save on internet quota usage.
You can restrict certain applications from being able to use the internet or data packages on your Xiaomi cellphone.
You don’t need to download a third-party app to do this. Everything can be done using the built-in features in MIUI.

Then open the Security app . This is one of the default applications on Xiaomi cellphones, so it should be on your Xiaomi cellphone.

After that select the option Limit data usage .
Then Buddy Androbuntu will see a list of applications installed on your Xiaomi cellphone.
Click the check mark in the “Cellular” row until it changes to an X.
That way the application will not be able to use the internet or mobile data of your Xiaomi cellphone .
You can prevent all apps from using the internet if you want.
But for some important applications such as instant messaging, social media, and the like, leave it as usual so that it can work normally.
As for wifi , you can also select it so that the application cannot use the internet when the smartphone is connected to wifi .
This method can be done if you surf more often with Mi-fi or mini wi-fi.
But if you use the internet more often directly from your smartphone, leave the wifi option as usual.
Those are tips so you can save internet data usage on Xiaomi cellphones.
That way, you won’t have to buy a data package too often because all the applications you choose have been “banned” from using the internet.
