Data-Deducing Apps

Google's New Data-Saving App Helps You Evade Unwanted Overage Charges

— July 4, 2017 — Tech
If you have a smartphone data plan, chances are you've suffered the ignominy and annoyance of going over your stipulated data plan because of background apps, which is why Google is unveiling a new data-saving app.

Dubbed Triangle, this data-saving app is designed to help you deduce how much app you're using, while helping you ascertain which apps are the most notorious in sucking up data.

Currently being tested in the Philippines, the Triangle app features a handy and appropriately named "Data Saver" feature which places a time limit on apps' data usage, preventing needless wastage of data.

Given that data management is one of the major problems featuring smartphone users today, this data-saving app could come as a godsend to Android users.
Trend Themes
1. Data-saving Apps - The popularity of data-saving apps will continue to grow due to increasing concerns about data usage and overage charges, creating opportunities for developers to create innovative solutions.
2. Data Management Solutions - Apps that help users manage their data usage and prevent overage charges will be in high demand, leading to disruptive innovations in data management solutions.
3. Background App Analytics - As users become more concerned about the impact of background apps on their data usage, there will be an increasing need for analytics apps that monitor data usage and highlight data-hungry apps.
Industry Implications
1. Telecommunications - Telecommunications companies can benefit from developing data management solutions to help customers manage their data usage and avoid overage fees.
2. Mobile App Development - As concerns about data usage grow, there will be greater demand for mobile app developers to create data-saving apps and background app analytics solutions.
3. Data Analytics - Data analytics companies can develop solutions to address the need for accurate data tracking and analysis to help users manage their mobile data usage.
