The best that have provided Netflix and similar services for content consumers is that they can enjoy series and movies anywhere. In addition, it must be added that the data rates currently marketed have increased their limits and at a better price. This has caused content consumption to skyrocket. However, if we are not careful when it comes to playing this content over mobile connections, our flat rate may reach its monthly limit before the end of the month.
As we have mentioned, Netflix is one of the most popular services among users. Being able to enjoy your favorite series without being aware of a broadcast schedule is a luxury. But, Are you one of those who make the most of your flat data rate on the iPhone or iPad? Well, with some adjustments this consumption can be restricted and we can have greater control over our monthly spending.

As they comment on idownloadblog, data consumption can be divided into three possibilities. Be careful, before giving you data, you should think that the lower the data consumption, the lower the quality of streaming that we will enjoy. Here you should be the one to choose at all times what interests you the most. But let's continue, this data interests you. The spending options that Netflix allows you are the following:
- Low: spend is 0,3 GB per hour
- Media: spend is 0,7 GB per hour
- High: spending is 3 GB per hour in HD quality, while in Ultra HD quality it is 7 GB per hour
Bearing this in mind, to be able to change the hourly expense you must enter your user account through the browser - not through the Netflix app. Login to your account and in the profile section look for the option that tells you "playback settings". It will be there where you have all the previous options that we have discussed. Of course, once you have chosen the option that interests you the most, save the changes. These changes will be implemented on all devices where you use Netflix through a mobile connection.
Manage only a single device
Now, if the only thing you are interested in is managing the use of your mobile connection on a single computer, this must be done through the Netflix application. How? Very simple: you enter the iPhone or iPad app. You go to the menu icon in one of the upper corners. Once inside, Search for "Application settings" and choose the option "Use of mobile data". Inside you will have several options, as Netflix itself explains:
- Automatic: Netflix will select a data consumption option that balances consumption with good video quality. Currently this option lets you see around 4 hours per GB of data.
- Wi-Fi only: You can only see in streaming on the device if you connect via Wi-Fi.
- Save data: View around 6 hours per GB of data.
- Maximum data: Recommended only if you have an unlimited data plan. This option allows you to stream the content with the highest possible quality for your device. This option consumes 1GB every 20 minutes or more depending on your device and network speed.
