Agree that when a modern smartphone does everything automatically, is it great? He downloads different files himself, when someone sends them to you, he uploads fresh ones himself photos in iCloudto make them available on all your devices. And everything would be fine if these manipulations were strictly limited to only a Wi-Fi connection. Therefore, at one fine moment, when you fail to find the necessary information on the network or an important message is missed, you will understand that iphone eats internet.
On iOS, you can turn off cellular data access for any app.

What to do in such a situation? First of all, you need to limit the autoloading of media files by different messengers and switch upload photos and videos to iCloud Wifi only. In this post, we’ll show you how to do it so that save internet on your iphone.
How to disable autoload in Telegram
Whatever smartphones and tablets I use, I always turn off autoload media files in different messengers. And I did it even on the computer. Firstly, most often, if you were sent another unfunny joke, then this is immediately clear and there is no point in downloading and watching it. And secondly, you know exactly in which chats you usually receive really necessary and useful things, and you can download the necessary message with one touch. Autoload in Telegram turns off like this:
- Open Telegram and go to the “Settings” tab.
- Select “Data and Memory”.
- In the “Via mobile network” section, either turn off auto-download completely, or limit it to only private chats.
You can even turn off auto-download over Wi-Fi.
Disable autoload completely or for specific types of chats.

Telegram can already be called not just a messenger, but a full-fledged social network. Surely, you read most of the news and interesting posts in it. So it makes sense in the first place. disable autoloading of media files from different channels. Due to the large amount of content, they are the main traffic consumers.
How to turn off auto download in whatsapp
If your main messenger is WhatsApp, then greeting cards for all existing holidays can easily spend even 30 GB of traffic per month. Some of our relatives are simply irresistible in the impulse to send out congratulations. In order not to download all this every time, just do the following:
In WhatsApp, be sure to turn off autoload so that postcards are not taken by surprise.
- Open WhatsApp and go to the “Settings” tab.
- Select the “Data and storage” section.
- In the media autoload section, switch all items to Wi-Fi.
In addition to this, in the “Media download quality” item, you can enable traffic saver. In such a situation, be prepared for the fact that WhatsApp will compress downloaded files even more than it does without additional settings. And often it is simply not possible to use them for something else due to low quality. It seems that without autoloading there is no life at all, but I disagree with that. I disable it on all devices and control what is downloaded to my smartphone, tablet or computer. One press of a button can save you traffic.
How to disable photo uploads to iCloud
But iCloud eats up the Internet the most. Or, to be precise, uploading new photos to the cloudvideo or documents in iCloud Drive. Modern iPhones shoot at such a resolution that the size of the files that fly into iCloud cannot be called small. Just think about it: on an old iPhone XR, one minute of 4K 60 FPS video takes up about 400 MB. And this is a smartphone that is almost five years old. What can we say about more modern models.
Most of the traffic eats up iCloud.
It is because of the unloading of such voluminous files that most of the traffic you have is spent. But with one deft move, you can limit your iPhone from rash moves and make it wait until Wi-Fi appears. It is done like this:
- Unlock iPhone and go to settings.
- Scroll down to the Photos section and open it.
- At the very bottom of the page, select Cellular Data.
- Turn off Cellular Data.
- Go back to settings and go to the “Cellular” section.
- Scroll to the very bottom and turn off “Wi-Fi Help” and “iCloud Drive”.
To upload photos and videos to the cloud, it is better to use Wi-Fi.
Here you can also turn off the Internet via cellular data for any application.

Disabling iCloud Drive will allow you to upload all documents there only when using Wi-Fi, and help with wifi saves traffic with slow Wi-Fi. By default, in the event of any interruptions with it, the iPhone silently switches to cellular data, which, when downloading heavy files, playing games, or watching movies online, can lead to increased consumption of the Internet package. Moreover, many users are not even aware of such a setting, which is activated out of the box. By the way, here you can disable cellular data for any app.
For greater reliability, I would also recommend that you once again not climb into iCloud settingswhen there is no Wi-Fi at hand. And then in an attempt to do the best, you can accidentally start creating a backup copy, which for some users really takes up a lot of space, and because of it you can lower all the traffic, like a pipe. Therefore, turn off everything unnecessary and be careful with what you are doing. Then you will not have any problems with the Internet.
