Mobile data is not cheap, so it makes sense to get the most music out of every megabyte. Here is how to use less data on Tubidy.
Why video uses more data
Every song on Tubidy plays through a video player. Higher video quality means more data. A song in HD can use several times more data than the same song at a lower quality, even though the sound is similar.
Lower the video quality
When a song is playing, tap the settings cog in the video player and choose Quality. On a phone screen, 144p or 240p is fine if you are only listening, and 360p looks clear enough for watching.
Use Wi-Fi when you can
Do your heavy listening and long mixes on Wi-Fi at home, work, school or a free hotspot. Keep mobile data for single songs on the go.
Turn on data saver
Most phones have a data saver setting:
- Android: Settings → Network & internet → Data Saver.
- iPhone: Settings → Mobile Data → Mobile Data Options → Low Data Mode.
Chrome also has a Lite or data-saving mode on some phones.
Avoid autoplay
Tubidy only plays the song you choose. It does not play endless videos one after another, so you will not burn data on songs you did not pick.
Pick shorter results
Long mixes use more data. If you are on mobile data, choose the single version of a song rather than an hour-long mix.
Want truly offline music?
Downloading on Wi-Fi and listening offline later is the best way to save data. Streaming apps with offline modes let you do this legally. See our guide to legal offline listening.
Keep listening
With these tips you can enjoy more music on Tubidy for less. Head to the Tubidy homepage and start searching.
