Streaming your favourite series, movies or documentaries on Netflix can use up a lot of data. You can avoid this and enjoy the best that Netflix has to offer by managing the following data usage settings.

Adjust your data usage settings:

• Launch Netflix App > Select Menu (Top left or right) >Select App Settings > Select Cellular Data Usage > Select your preferred setting.

Reduce the amount of data you use on Netflix by choosing from these four data usage settings (Each estimate below is per stream):

Automatic - A data usage setting selected by Netflix to balance data usage with good video quality. This will allow you to watch about 4 hours per GB of data.

Wi-Fi Only - This data usage setting only allows you to stream on your device while connected to Wi-Fi.

Save Data - Allows you to watch about 6 hours per GB of data.

Maximum Data - Recommended only if you have an unlimited data plan. This setting will stream at the highest possible quality for your device and the content you are viewing. This may use 1 GB per 20 minutes or more depending on your device and network speeds.

It is important to note that the data setting changes you make from your mobile device apply to that device only while streaming over mobile networks.
