Your phone shows a data usage graph. Below the graph, apps 
appear from highest to least data usage. Apps that use a lot of 
data might also use a lot of battery power.

Some apps transfer data in the background when you're not 
viewing them—to stop an app from doing this, tap it and then 
check 

Restrict app background data

.

To turn off background data use for all apps, just tap Menu

Usage information is provided to help you manage your 

phone. This may not match the amounts charged by your

Phone & tablet

Your Android phone and tablet can work together to help you 
get the most out of both:

anywhere—see “

”.

• Bluetooth® accessories:
