Have you recently seen your mobile device data usage go up, in some cases substantially? And you aren’t doing anything any differently? The culprit may be…Facebook! Thanks again, Mark Zuckerberg.
What going on? Well, I’m sure you’ve noticed how videos will play automatically even though you haven’t clicked on them. That’s because they’re now pre-loading all videos and that little feature quietly sucks up data all day, every day. Eek!
Here’s how you fix it:
iPhone – go into your phone settings, click on the Facebook icon, then on settings and select “auto play on Wi-fi only”
Android – go to the ap settings and do the same thing
Samsung – while in Facebook, press the left button next to the home key on the phone, then press settings and it comes up with the auto play option.
