What's the story

For those who love streaming on the go, keeping a check on mobile data usage is super important. Fortunately, the Amazon Prime Video app on Android devices provides a range of settings to manage data usage. This tutorial guides you through the process of fine-tuning these settings, so you can watch your favorite shows and movies without the stress of depleting your data plan.

Streaming settings

Adjust your streaming quality

To control data consumption, change streaming quality in the app settings under "Stream and Download." Select Best (6.84 GB per hour), Better (1.82 GB per hour), Good (0.72 GB per hour), or Data Saver (0.06 GB per hour). Use "Data Saver" for the most significant reduction, or "Good" or "Better" for a compromise between quality and usage.

Download preferences

Optimize download settings

Besides streaming settings, modifying your download quality will also contribute to data conservation. Under the same "Stream and Download" section, locate "Download Quality." Just like streaming options, you can choose from Best (6.64 GB per hour), Better (1.82 GB per hour), Good (0.72 GB per hour), or Data Saver (0.06 GB per hour). Select an option that balances your viewing needs and data constraints.

Wi-Fi only options

Implement Wi-Fi only restrictions

To stop Amazon Prime Video from using your mobile data, you need to turn on Wi-Fi only restrictions. Under "Stream and Download" settings, turn on "Download on Wi-Fi only," "Stream on Wi-Fi only," and "Notify When Streaming on Mobile Data." These settings serve as a protective layer, limiting streaming and downloading to Wi-Fi networks and preventing accidental usage of mobile data.
