Google launches ‘Datally’ app for Android users to save mobile data

New Delhi: Google on Thursday launched an app designed to help Android phone users understand, control and save on their expensive mobile data.

This app, called Datally, allows users to track their data usage in real time, and get personalised recommendations on saving data along with notifications of public Wi-Fi spots available nearby.

The app is now globally available on the Google Play Store for all phones running Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and higher, Google



said.

Datally is an initiative of Google’s Next Billion Users division that aims to make Internet services more accessible even in countries with limited technology infrastructure.

“Mobile data is expensive for many people around the world. And what’s worse, it’s hard to figure out where it all goes.

“That’s why we built Datally, an app that helps you to control, save more and do more with your data,” Caesar Sengupta, Vice President, Next Billion Users, Google, said in a blogpost.
