Nowadays, data consumption is too high because of short-term OTA updates. Google Play Store apps like Youtube, shopping apps, gaming apps, and dozens of other sites that stream content online are all consuming too much mobile data. Here are some tips for you to fix this issue.
1. You can stop updating Play Store apps by not connecting to any Wi-Fi or disabling them permanently with the below step.
Play Store > Click on the right top on your id > Setting > On Network preference you can change or stop the network preference for Auto-update apps.
2. The following steps can be used to disable any app that uses mobile data.
realme UI 3.0 & above versions: Settings > Mobile Network > Data usage > Network access > Select the app for Restrict Data usage.
realme UI 2.0 & 1.0: Settings > SIM card & mobile data > Data usage > Network permissions > Select the app for Restrict Data usage.
realme UI R & Go & T & S & U Edition: Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network > Network permissions > Select the app for Restrict Data usage.
3. To prevent high data usage, you can enable Data Saving mode
