How to monitor mobile data usage while gaming

📅 How to monitor mobile data usage while gaming

If you are on a plan with a limited data allowance, it is helpful to know which apps are using up your data. When using the Tower Rush app, your phone typically shows the total data usage for the 1xBet app, rather than Tower Rush specifically. If you open Fortune Gems 2 in a browser, its data usage will be included in the browser's total along with other websites. This distinction is important.

📊 Where to check data usage

On Android, open network settings and view mobile data usage by app. On an iPhone, it is simpler because the information you need is found in the cellular settings, allowing you to view data usage for each app separately.

Then compare these figures after your gaming session. The app Tower Rush requires at least a 3G connection, but 4G and 5G will be more efficient. The amount of data used depends on which pages were opened and whether you had to reload them.

🔔 How to set up data usage alerts

On many Android phones, you can set alerts for mobile data usage. These alerts notify you when you are approaching the limit you have set, and may disable mobile data once it is reached. However, if your connection drops during gameplay, you will have to check your status after the network is restored.

Before setting this up, check:

• ✅ When your carrier renews your data plan.
• ✅ How much data is currently available.
• ✅ Whether your phone tracks both SIM cards separately.
• ✅ Whether you prefer a notification or automatic disconnection.
• ✅ Whether updates are downloading in the background.

Check the start of the billing period before concluding that the game has used an unexpectedly large amount of data. When monitoring your data usage, prioritize the information provided by your mobile carrier.

📶 What changes when switching from Wi-Fi to a mobile network

If your phone is connected to Wi-Fi at home but switches to 4G or 5G when you leave the house, the game may continue to use data through your mobile carrier. Therefore, before starting a session, check the network icon at the top of the screen. This is especially useful for short-term data plans.

Before switching between networks:

1. 1 Finish your current action in the game.
2. 2 Check if your phone has already connected to the new network.
3. 3 Wait for the game window to refresh.
4. 4 Only then continue.
5. 5 If necessary, check your remaining data allowance with your carrier.

If you want to limit your data usage for Tower Rush within the app, use the system's data warning feature. On Android, you can also set a hard limit, but it is better to start with just the warning so that a sudden loss of connection doesn't interrupt gameplay.

🌐 Fortune Gems 2 in a browser: how to track its data usage

It is not complicated since the Fortune Gems 2 page runs in a mobile browser. In your phone's usage stats, the data usage will be attributed to Chrome, Safari, or whatever browser you used to open it. This combines all websites, not just a single game.

On an iPhone, you can turn off mobile data for a specific browser, though this restriction will apply to other sites in the same browser. On Android, it is best to start by setting a warning for when you are nearing your data limit.

⚠️ What to do when your mobile data plan is almost used up

If your carrier shows that you have very little data remaining, first finish your current in-game action and check your connection. Then decide whether to continue using Wi-Fi.

Before your next gaming session, you can take these 4 steps:

1. 1 Check your remaining data allowance in your carrier's app.
2. 2 Verify that Wi-Fi is actually connected.
3. 3 Disable automatic updates over the mobile network.
4. 4 Set up a system alert for data usage.

If your data plan renews in 1-2 days, it might be easier to put off playing until then rather than buying additional data. For Tower Rush, check the 1xBet app and for Fortune Gems 2, check the browser you used.
