Simple tip that can almost double your smartphone data for FREE

Google is updating its Chrome browser app and adding a clever new feature called Data Saver.

With this new mode switched on Google says users will use up to 70% less data when web surfing.

Data Saver works by reducing the amount of data used when you visit a webpage.

It does this by removing most images when loading a page on a slow connection.

After the page has loaded, you can tap to show all images or just the individual ones you want, making the web faster and cheaper to access on a slow connection.

With mobile companies charging as much as £15 for an extra 2GB of data, this new feature will be a welcomed addition.

Chrome users in India and Indonesia will be the first to get this expanded Data Saver mode, with additional countries including the UK getting it in the coming months.

The update is also currently available on Android with Apple users expected to benefit soon.
