Why is Google Chrome using up my data?

MattyH — Tue, 17 Jun 2014 16:50:24 GMT

I had a look at the data useage feature on the Z2, and found out Chrome was one of the applications using most of my data. I did a test and it said it has used 6.96MB so far (it did this within 10 minutes), then I visited a webpage on Chrome, and went back to have a look at the data useage and it went up to 9.58mb. I was also on a game for 3 minutes and I used 18.3mb. I'm sure these app's dont use this much data so quickly?

Sounds like you might be visiting a full version of the site. Go to bandwith management in setting in Chrome and turn on 'reduce data usage' and see if that helps.

My main data user is Facebook and Google Ingress

Forgot to mention, make sure your preload web pages is set to wifi only in your chrome settings.

Good luck dude.
