In this tutorial, we show you how to get Android N Data Saver function on any Android phone without root. It is easy to exceed your monthly mobile data limit without knowing where it all goes.

Like in iOS, controlling mobile data usage is not easy in Android, but that will become an old story with the upcoming Android N. However, since Android N will not be available on all phones, you need to go for other methods to stop exceeding monthly mobile data usage. Read on to know how to get this function on your phone.

You can get this feature on any device, if you install Opera’s data saving app Opera Max. It is free, easy to use.
