The Twitter app has a feature that reduces the use of mobile data on your phone. When activating the option, the app loads images with lower quality and prevents videos from running automatically, something useful for those with a limited plan or slow connection. The function has been around for some time, but it needed to be configured individually. With a recent update to the app, the feature has been simplified and now comes down to just one button.
In the following tutorial, check out how to enable Twitter data saving mode on your mobile phone. The procedure was performed on an iPhone 8 with iOS 12, but the tips also apply to Android users. It is necessary to have the latest version of the application installed on your phone. Check how to update your apps.
