Without
any exception, we all get frustrated with the amount of money that we
end up paying when we exceed the cap on our data plans. Thus, the Data
Saver option on Android is a feature that is extremely dear to us. If
latest leaks are anything to go by, the data saving feature is about to
get smarter with Android 7.0 Nougat.
The option to save data in
Android allows you to set up a warning limit and a halt unit to help you
manage the data plan's usage more effectively. It also allows you to
give unrestricted data access to certain apps if you desire to do so.
However, with the upcoming version of Android, it appears users will get a more
intelligent data saver feature that will decide the amount of data
access provided to any particular app, according to reports.
The
Data Saver option on Android 7.0 Nougat will allow unrestricted Internet
access to apps when your data plan is unlimited, but will get into
action on a limited data plan and restrain the internet access available
to the apps and background processes as indicated by changes seen in
ConnectivityManager API in Android 7.0 Nougat's SDK, reports Android
Central.
The
new data saving feature will also work if you're travelling abroad and
buy a pre-paid local SIM card, as pointed out in the news report.
The
amount of data that is used by the background processes will be managed
and capped by the Data Saver option. The users will, however, have the
ability to whitelist the apps that they want to provide with
unrestricted data access.
With artificial intelligence making
its way through every aspect of our life, it will be interesting to see
how the execution for these changes takes place with the upcoming
version of Android.
