5 useful Android apps to save mobile traffic

My Data Manager

This is probably the most famous traffic manager for Android.

The app will show you how many megabytes of mobile and Wi-Fi traffic you used for the day and month. In the "Applications" section, you can see which of the applications spend more traffic and prevent them from working without access to Wi-Fi.

You can also set traffic limits in My Data Manager. When you get close to the upper border, the app will sound an alarm and you can avoid unnecessary expenses.

The app is free and can show data in the notification bar to make it easier for you to track traffic.

Traffic Monitor & 3G / 4G Speed

Nice app without ads. There are all the possibilities for tracking mobile and Wi-Fi traffic: graphs of consumption for the reporting period, data on application costs, distribution by location - at home, at work or elsewhere.

You can set a traffic limit - define a limit after which you will receive a notification.

You can also see how good your signal is compared to other users in your area. Now, when the Internet is not working well, you can find out if the problem arose only in you or in the entire area.

Osmino Wi-Fi

Coordinates of 20 million open Wi-Fi points, of which 3 million are in Russia. To find a point faster, use the "Wi-Fi Manager" - this section shows all the nearest open points. If there are no open ones, go to the "Wi-Fi Map" section - here the points are displayed on a familiar Google map.

The app is free, but it shows ads. Displayed in the notification bar and allows you to add a widget.

WeFi Pro

I would also like to mention WeFi. This is a utility for those who do not want to constantly search for unpaired Wi-Fi networks. The app automatically connects to the best one, providing the fastest connection possible.

You can also tag Wi-Fi networks (home, work, public, etc.) and share information with other users.

However, for WeFi to work well, you must be in densely populated areas or on popular tourist routes: in small towns, the app will be useless.

AFWall + (Android Firewall +)

With apps that track mobile traffic, you can see which programs are the most expensive, and AFWall + will help block their access to data transmission over the Internet. System applications differ in color from user applications, so it will be easier for you to navigate.
