When I have the luxury of unlimited mobile data, streaming high-quality music, videos, and uploading high-definition shots on social networking sites like Facebook never becomes a cause for concern. However, times when the limited bandwidth is running out of gas well before the deadline, I do prefer to rein in my usage so that I can squeeze as much cellular data as I can. And that’s exactly what has led me to find a way to stop uploading HD photos/videos to Facebook from iPhone and Android devices. If my sentiment is echoing with yours as well, let me show you how you can choose to upload low-quality shots on Facebook.
Uploading low-quality images will not only eat into less mobile data but also consume comparatively less battery. So, if you want your device battery to last a little longer between charges, this little nifty trick can prove to be super handy. Talking about the process, it’s pretty simple and you can do it right from the Facebook app. As it’s quite similar for both iOS and Android, we are showing only iOS app’s screenshots.
If you are using iOS, you can disable these upload HD toggles from the Settings app as well. This process seems a lot easier than the one found in the Facebook app.
