Time and again, we end up with an application using up too much of cellular data or we may have set of apps that we never use while connected to a cellular network. It is a good practice to block these apps from using cellular data as even 10MB saved is data saved. We have compiled a few guides for Android Nougat. Head to this page to see the full list of guides. Also, do not miss our “Recommended Smartphones” list that contains best smartphones for every budget.
