How do I set a data cap on my iOS device?

iOS does not offer a traditional “data cap” feature like Android, but you can reduce and control your data usage using Apple’s built-in tools. Here are the most effective ways to manage data on your iPhone:

Enable Low Data Mode

Low Data Mode helps reduce cellular data usage by limiting background tasks and automatic updates.

How to enable it:

1. Open Settings
2. Tap Cellular / Mobile Data
3. Tap your eSIM plan
4. Tap Data Mode
5. Select Low Data Mode

Turn off Wi-Fi Assist

Wi-Fi Assist automatically uses cellular data when Wi-Fi is weak. Turning it off helps avoid unexpected usage.

How to disable it:

1. Go to Settings
2. Tap Cellular / Mobile Data
3. Scroll to the bottom
4. Toggle Wi-Fi Assist OFF

Disable iCloud Backup over mobile data

iCloud backups can use a large amount of data. Turning them off for cellular helps keep usage under control.

How to disable it:

1. Open Settings
2. Tap your Apple ID → iCloud
3. Tap iCloud Backup
4. Toggle Back Up Over Mobile Data OFF
