How to Manage Mobile Data on Amazon Prime Video
Streaming on the go is great, but managing your mobile data usage is key. Luckily, Amazon Prime Video on Android devices has you covered with data management settings. Let’s walk through how to adjust these settings, so you can enjoy your favorite shows without worrying about data depletion.
First up, controlling your streaming quality is crucial to control data consumption. Head over to the app settings under “Stream and Download” and choose between Best (6.84 GB per hour), Better (1.82 GB per hour), Good (0.72 GB per hour), or Data Saver (0.06 GB per hour). Data Saver offers the most significant data reduction, while Good and Better find a balance between quality and data usage.
Additionally, tweaking your download quality can also help save data. In the same “Stream and Download” section, you’ll find the “Download Quality” menu. Here, you can select Best (6.64 GB per hour), Better (1.82 GB per hour), Good (0.72 GB per hour), or Data Saver (0.06 GB per hour). Pick an option that meets your viewing needs while considering your data limits.
And to prevent Amazon Prime Video from using your mobile data when you don’t want it to, enable Wi-Fi only restrictions. In the “Stream and Download” settings, activate “Download on Wi-Fi only,” “Stream on Wi-Fi only,” and “Notify When Streaming on Mobile Data.” These settings act as a safeguard, ensuring that your streaming and downloading activities are limited to Wi-Fi networks, saving you from unexpected data usage.
So, with these tips in mind, you can enjoy streaming on Amazon Prime Video without worrying about your mobile data. Happy watching!
