Restrict background data

You can prevent specific apps from ever sending or receiving data in the background. Also, if
you're running low on data during your billing cycle, use Data Saver to conserve your remaining
data. Data Saver lets you quickly turn off background data usage for all apps; if you have one
or two that want to continue using background data, you can set them as exceptions.
When you restrict background data, you will not receive notifications from apps that typically
sync in the background (like Gmail) until you open the app; then data syncs as usual.

1. Go to Settings > Network & internet > Data usage.

Tip: The first time you turn Data Saver on, is added to quick settings. After that, just
swipe the status bar down and touch to turn Data Saver off/on.
