Detailed explanation-1: -With Google’s newly launched app–Datally–you will be able to check, understand and save your mobile data usage.

Detailed explanation-2: -The app was mainly aimed at users from developing countries since the data charges there are expensive. However, more and more smartphones can track data usage and turn it off for specific apps. The cost of data has also been decreasing, so apps such as Datally are no longer targeting an acute pain point.

Detailed explanation-3: -While Android already offers built-in mobile data management and data saver mode, Datally breaks it down and presents it in an easy to understand interface. With the app, one can get a breakdown of their data usage on an hourly, weekly and monthly basis.

Detailed explanation-4: -When Data Saver is turned on, Datally creates a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) on your phone to help you understand and control your mobile data usage. The VPN allows Datally to stop apps from using mobile data when you don’t want them to.
