Data Usage (background data)
The
Data Usage
section shows how much data has been transmitted
to your tablet, either in total or for each app. This information is useful
if you are using a metered service.
If an app is using too much data, or you need to control how your data
service is used, open the
Data Usage
menu, and turn
Data Saver
on.
Tap to see a list of apps installed on your device, you may disable
background data for individual apps. An app controlled by the
Data
Saver
will only be able to access to a data connection when you’re
actively using the app.

takeoff and landing as it may interfere with aircraft electronic systems.
To turn Airplane mode on or off, tap

Blocking background data may cause some apps to stop working correctly.
For example, background data is required to make regular checks for
updates, useful for email or messenger apps.

When Airplane mode is active, the
icon is displayed in the status area.
