Google's Datally App Helps You Control and Save Mobile Data
Google has developed Datally, an app that helps you understand, control and save data.
Whether you're chatting, play games or watc videos on your phone, you're also anxiously keeping an eye on how long your data will last.
Datally helps you do three things:
- Understand your data. See your usage on a hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis and get personalized recommendations for how you can save more.
- Control your data. Turn on the Data Saver bubble to block background data usage and track real-time data usage while using each of your apps-it's like a speedometer for your data. You can also block data with one tap if an app's data usage gets out of control.
- Save your data. Sometimes you just need a little more than what you've got on your data plan. Datally will tell you if you're near public Wi-Fi and help you connect. Once you're done, don't forget to rate the network quality to help other users.
Google has been testing Datally in the Philippines for the past few months, and people are saving up to 30 percent on their data. So today Datally has been made globally available on the Google Play Store for all phones running Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and higher.
