What’s more, the phone does not offer some great features when going frugal on WiFi data as well. Moreover, to manage data via phone’s settings is pretty cumbersome. An app which can offer a dexterous and efficient data management is definitely the need of the hour. It makes data control a lot easier and full-ranged.

Now, many of you might be querying that the same internet access restrictions on the apps can be applied by simply visiting the settings of your smartphone. But, to all who think that way, we can say that this app particularly is very easy to use as compared to the knotty settings to accomplish the same, and also it does not hog up a great space in your phone’s RAM. To achieve data-restriction via phone’s “Settings” can be a bit complicated and even way more jumbling to uplift the data restriction again. Also, it is the system apps namely Android OS, Download Manager etc. which gobble up a major chunk of your cellular as well as WiFi data. They are the major background data-eater culprits. Revoking the data access to these inbuilt apps is not possible by visiting the phone’s Settings. You need an app to achieve that. Furthermore, there is not much data saving you can perform via settings when you are in a WiFi connection. DataEye helps you in achieving outstanding data-management even on WiFi.
