We’ll walk you through the simple steps on how to disable Data Saver on Instagram, whether you’re using an Android or iPhone. Follow along to get the most out of your Instagram experience without unnecessary data restrictions.
Instagram’s Data Saver feature is designed to reduce mobile data usage by lowering the quality of images and videos while you browse. While helpful for those on limited data plans, it can sometimes slow down your experience or reduce the clarity of your content.
Turning off the Data Saver setting allows Instagram to use more data, but in return, you’ll enjoy smoother scrolling, quicker video playback, and sharper images especially when connected to Wi-Fi or if you have an unlimited data plan.
