How to use less data for calls on WhatsApp
28 Feb 2025


WhatsApp enables us to make voice and video calls over the internet, but for those with limited data plans, these calls can quickly eat up your precious data.

Luckily, WhatsApp has a "Low Data Usage" option for calls that helps cut down on data usage without a huge hit to call quality.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to turn it on (for Android users).


Activating low data usage mode
Step-by-step


To limit data usage on WhatsApp calls, first open the app on your Android device.

Tap the three dots in the upper-right corner to open the menu, then tap Settings.

Navigate to Storage and Data, then locate Use less data for calls.

Toggle this switch to enable low data usage mode for voice and video calls.


Managing overall data consumption
Additional tips


To save data on WhatsApp, always connect to Wi-Fi whenever you can to minimize data usage.

Also, disable automatic media downloads by navigating to "Storage and Data" in settings.

Under "Media Auto-Download," uncheck the media types you wish to prevent from automatically downloading on mobile data.

This way, you have control over your data usage.
