How To Prevent Data Leakage On Android Devices
27 October 2026
Both old and new comers to android devices are being menaced by data leakage. And by data leakage i mean this as an example:
You just got your awesome android device and to see the full functionality, you subscribed for MTN DATA SHARE lets say you got 1gb on otextcity.com at the cheapest rate possible. The data is expected to last you at least three week if you are a low internet user, but unfortunately, you were about to open a very important page, submit this very important application or send this email then you got the below annoying screen both on PC and your android device.
You can even be redirected to datareset.mtnoline.com there by lossing the previous url you were coming from.
A part of you would expect a miracle to happen (if you are not a newbie to such occurrence).
Now, this is what is happening , idealy our device both PC and Android etc... are meant to run some background updates.These updates
1.Keeps virus away 2. make it harder for hackers to compromise our devices 3. protect our devices from new threats 4. make sure we are using the latest release of the apps and more... i hope you got the idea.
The major Problems:
In this part of the world, the cost of accessing the internet is very expensive, if instead of purchasing data we save the money in a piggy bank and later break the piggy bank at the end of the year and this is done two years it may be enough to buy a new car and build a simple 1 bedroom bungalow. But what can we do nowadays without internet? With such vast information to tap from, we have no choice than to purchase data.
Possible Solutions:
Since the internet is an integral part of our life, we have to purchase data to access it. To make our data last a bit longer. if you know your way around your android device, you can switch off the background updates and that should be enough to make your data last longer. But for all those who is undergoing this data leakage.There are a lot of applications on playstore that can manage your data for you but i am recommending the below app you can get it at this link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.freighter&hl=en
it is very straight forward to use, it works by listing all the apps that does background updates and how much of MB each of the apps have used, there is also a switch that can be used to stop an app from performing any background activity. Please note: While Datally is on, the hotspot will not be accessible to external devices.
Let me know if you issues using the app. i will gladly guide you through.
