This should stop apps such as Skype switching to Mobile Data when outside the range of your WiFi router.
Hope this helps. Hello, Thank you for replying. No this is not my issue. Imagine this scenario. If that makes sense? I am talking about completely snuffing out any possibility for Youtube to use data either in case of my home wifi cutting of with out me noticing or when I am in the city and off wifi.
Make certain apps only functional when I am connected to wifi. Otherwise they are not allowed to use phone data in any scenario. Venom : There are a few settings in the Youtube app that can help, however they don't address your query completely. The steps above will stop Youtube from switching to mobile data unexpectedly so you should be fine, however if you physically open the app while outside the range of your router with Mobile Data enabled, it will utilise the data connection.
If you open Youtube while there's no WiFi or Mobile Data connection then it just says 'you are not connected to the internet' so there's no danger of it using your data.
