Nowadays, a smartphone is mostly used to use the internet on the device. Also, it fulfills most of the requirements of the users. For children, the smartphone device is like a game station.
But for all the activities, mostly the cellular data is a must. If you do not have free cellular data on your mobile, it’s like nothing. All the network provider companies have set a data limit to use on mobile. If you have reached that limit, the provider does not allow you to use the net. So, the data usage warning feature will help you a lot at that time. But, what is a data usage warning? The answer you will get shortly.
The most recent trend of using internet data is via JIO. When the JIO was new, at that time, they were provided 4 GB of data per Day. After time went by, the daily data limit of JIO was reduced to 1 GB. Nowadays, the same daily data limit is provided by them.
