What a question! One day somebody would still ask: Does shutting down your generator save fuel? Or Does switching off your phone save battery? Nonsense 1 Like |

Don't put it to auto-download. Even Facebook, ensure it is not on autoplay for videos too michlins: |

Only if you have apps which download or upload data in the background. When you switch on your data, they'll only resume downloading. Rather than turn off data, it is better to ensure you turn off automatic updates, turn off push notifications, turn off auto download of videos and images on whatsapp, stop auto syncing of emails. 1 Like |

Yes These are the reasons. 1. Updates only happen when data is on 2. Adverts consume data and only happens when data is on. 3: sharing hotspots and using the data only happen when data is on. 4. Updates in another person's phone during Xender file sharing happens when data is on. But we developers dont mind data consumption because we actually want it to consume. Subscription makes us big boys. Imagine buying 10k mtn and a fresh babe is there. Do u need to further explain urself? Lol |

YoungBlackRico:Serious olodos, I am even surprised this is being debated NOTE: Once your phone is on, whether being used or not, your data is being consumed by Background Processes unless that's turned off. https://www.quora.com/Is-my-mobile-data-used-up-when-turned-on-but-Im-not-using-my-phone |

Freelancerx: Background data usage or background refresh are usually status messages call keepalives. They consume minimal data in bytes and are not noticeable on your overall data usage. Sometimes, they are just an ‘are you alive’ and a response like ‘ok’ been sent between a server and your client application. In techie, we call them ‘control’ messages they are not much. Also automatic backups or updates eat lots of data, but this cancels out because once you switch on your data, the automatic backup will kick in and consume the same amount of data. Also note that, when you switch off your phone and the apps are no longer able to send and receive their background refresh data, the status of the app times out on the server end. Therefore, the next time you switch on your data and the app try to communicate with the server, the app and the server will have to send and receive more data now to authenticate themselves, establish their states, etc. So unless you intend switching it off for days, you end of burning more data. So, if the goal is to save power, then switching it off will achieve that, but if it is data you what to save, you won’t achieve much. 3 Likes |

Dam5reey:To an extent, it saves data. Even after you switch your data on, the sync you talked about won't consume your data immediately, it's gradual. You can check your mail for that very important message youre expecting, which probably made you to off data, reply to mails, check WhatsApp messages etc, before the sync finally eats up your remaining data. Look at it this way, you have only 50mb data , meanwhile you're not at a place where you could recharge or maybe your bank's app and network are fluctuating such that you can't recharge your line over USSD but then you're expecting an important mail. If your data is switched off, you can save save data, which youd need to read your mail, send quick replies etc. That could save you a lot and turn your life around if the message is so important. I had experienced this severally. |

Dam5reey: This is a lie. Apps makers do not send messages to people with no/low data. You only get those notifications Those texts enters your phone only when you switch on your mobile data. |

Certain applications default setting is to allow downloads and at times push notifications when it is Wi-fi and not cellular data. However, if you make the settings the same it won't matter because it will consume same data regardless. Also, if you use your mobile data as hotspot, the other device connected to it will assume it is WiFi and drain your data |

It doesn't really save much as some people would like to believe. There's background data usage, which takes a very minute and negligible amount of data. Those of you talking about apps updating in the background, it doesn't work like that. You're supposed to switch off all those background stuff and use your phone normally. It's good to leave your data always on so you can receive all those instant messages in real time 1 Like |
