Ever wondered how your bundles are used on your mobile phone? Safaricom has a new nifty feature that allows subscribers to get a data usage statement highlighting how much data was used by each application on their mobile phones. The feature breaks data usage by each mobile application for a specified timeframe; for example, you can check how much data was consumed by WhatsApp or Facebook or YouTube through a certain period of time on your mobile phone.
Why would you need a data statement?
Just like an MPESA statement or a bank statement for that matter, a data usage statement is just as important to help in planning and also to bring some transparency on how your data was consumed. You can choose to limit how much data a certain application uses based on such statement, for example limit YouTube streaming only when you are connected to a WiFi network. It also identifies rogue applications that often-run background activity that may consume data unnecessarily.
