There are a lot of apps which run in the background on our phones, but sometimes those apps go a bit crazy and use a good chunk of your monthly data allotment without you knowing. If you want to cut an app off from using background data, the P9’s got you covered. Go to Settings > Data traffic management > Networked apps > Advances network management and you’ll to able to set background data restrictions for any application on your phone.
