YOGYAKARTA - WhatsApp is an instant messaging application that has many interesting features that its users can use. Not only that, in terms of internet quota usage, the WhatsApp application is one application that is not wasteful.

Even so, users can still reduce internet data usage in the WhatsApp application by disabling a number of features. One feature that you can disable without compromising app performance is WhatsApp background data.

The reason is, WhatsApp background data functions to run data that enters your account automatically, so it's not really needed.

Meanwhile, when you are not using the WhatsApp application, your internet quota will continue to run because the application continues to run through the background.

Therefore, to save your internet quota, one way that can be done is to disable your WhatsApp background, so as not to use your quota.

If you are interested in disabling the background application or WhatsApp background, users can follow the steps that have been compiled by the VOI team below.

Easily Disable WhatsApp Background

To disable WhatsApp background, users can open the "Settings" or "Settings" menu on their cellphone, then select the "Applications" menu option in it.

Scroll down the screen and find the WhatsApp application. You can also type WhatsApp in the search field to find it quickly.

After finding the menu, click the WhatsApp icon and select the "Cellular Data" option contained in the "Settings" menu, then turn off the "Allow Background Data Usage" option.

Thus your WhatsApp background has been turned off and will not use internet data on the device.

For the record, if the user disables the WhatsApp background, then you will not receive a notification from WhatsApp when opening another application, and if there is an incoming message you cannot immediately know it.

But, you don't need to worry because messages sent to your account will be received immediately as soon as you open the WhatsApp application on your smartphone device or via WhatsApp Web.

Meanwhile, for phone calls or video calls using the WhatsApp application, you will still receive them as usual. Disabling the background will not affect it.

That is the way to disable WhatsApp background or background applications so that the use of internet quota on your cellphone is not too wasteful.
