Running out of data during a trip is frustrating. Fortunately, most smartphones now include Data Saver Mode (also known as Low Data Mode)—a powerful tool that helps reduce background data usage. Whether you’re using iPhone or Android, eSIM Prime works perfectly with these features to help you stay in control.
What Is Data Saver Mode?
Data Saver Mode is a phone setting that limits how much data apps use in the background. It’s ideal when using a prepaid eSIM plan abroad or when you have a limited data package.
People often ask:
» What does Data Saver do?
» Does Data Saver reduce speed?
» Should I keep Data Saver on or off?
The answer: Data Saver blocks apps from refreshing when you're not using them, helping you conserve every MB. It doesn't affect your browsing speed when using apps directly.
