How To Make TikTok Use Less Data
TikTok is known for short and interesting videos that people from across the globe share. If you are a regular TikTok user, you may agree that the app is somehow addictive. You may spend hours on your device just scrolling through the videos.
Spending much time on TikTok will eventually drain your device’s battery and if you are not on Wi-Fi, your data will be consumed fast. To help save your data, TikTok has a Data saving feature that will help reduce cellular data usage by reducing the resolution of the videos. By default, the Data Saver feature is always inactive and needs to be activated.
