Low Data Mode is a feature on iPhones that reduces the amount of internet data your phone uses, whether youre on Wi-Fi or cellular data. It can be turned on if your cellular or internet plan limits your data usage, or if youre in an area with slow data speeds. When Low Data Mode is on, automatic downloads and background app refreshes will be turned off, and videos and music will stream in lower quality. The feature can be turned on separately for cellular and Wi-Fi, and the settings might vary depending on your carrier. To turn on Low Data Mode, you can follow these steps:

• For LTE/4G Cellular: Go to Settings and tap Cellular > Cellular Data Options, then turn on Low Data Mode.
• For 5G Cellular: Go to Settings and tap Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Data Mode, then turn on Low Data Mode.
• For Dual SIM: Go to Settings and tap Cellular or Mobile Data > Tap one of your numbers > Turn on Low Data Mode.
• For Wi-Fi: Go to Settings and tap Wi-Fi > Tap the Info button next to the Wi-Fi network that youre connected to > Turn on Low Data Mode.

Its important to note that Low Data Mode is meant to be used when you need to conserve data, not every day. Low Data Mode will stop many apps from working in the way theyre meant to, and can seriously alter the experience of using your iPhone.
