So, if you have Wi-Fi at home or office, you are not putting undue burden on your mobile data. Wi-Fi is the most economical option when watching videos on TikTok compared to mobile data. Keep in mind that even with Wi-Fi, the data usage will be approximately the same as on mobile data.

This is where unlimited Wi-Fi data comes into play. It lets you access the app for an unlimited time and enjoy as much as you want without worrying about data running out.

The reels on Instagram work just like TikTok videos, and people believe that Meta has copied this functionality from TikTok to engage more users with short, crisp, and fun videos. Although Instagram's reels have everything similar to TikTok videos, they consumed 25% more data.

While TikTok videos consume around 70MBs of data in five minutes and 840MBs per hour, Instagram Reels drain 100MB and 1.2GB in an hour. Like the data saver mode in TikTok, Instagram also has one, and you can turn it on to reduce data usage manifold.

Turn it on, and Insta reels won't auto-load on your feed. The quality of the videos is also compromised; however, you can save a lot of data as this mode takes around 20MB in five minutes and 240MB per hour

The minimum required speed for streaming Netflix is 3 Mbps for SD (standard definition) video quality.

Netflix recommends at least 5 Mbps for HD quality and 15 Mbps for Ultra HD or 4K quality.

And while 15 Mbps might be enough for watching Netflix, remember that that's enough internet speed for only watching Netflix.

It isn't a hidden fact that TikTok is a data hog and consumes a large quantity of data within an hour. However, there are multiple ways to save data and lower the consumption. Let's dive in.

If you are not a content creator or don't post the latest trending videos but actively follow other creators and watch videos for hours, turn on the data-saving mode. It will result in lower resolution, but data consumption will also be low.

Follow these steps to enable Data Saver Mode:
1. Open the app and tap on your profile icon.
2. Scroll down and select 'Data Saver' from the Cache & Cellular section.
3. Tap the menu button in the top right corner and select 'Settings and Privacy'.
4. Turn it on, and now the app will consume around 360MB every hour instead of 840MB.

With Data Saver, you are saving more than half of your data. This feature is especially useful if you watch videos on mobile data.

Previously, if you were enjoying TikTok videos for 5 hours, now you can do it for more than 10 hours, and that too by consuming the same, or even less, amount of data. Data saver mode makes sure that the fun never stops.
