Last week I was travelling on a different country. I was mostly without WiFi and I bought a prepaid SIM card with some GB. TikTok ate 2GB of "background data" in two days, even if I did not open the app.
So it's not hard for me to guess how they do it...
(Yes, background data is now disabled for TikTok on my phone... I learned my lesson)
- hot_gril 4y agoWon't be long before some cell plans have special discounts for TikTok data like with WhatsApp. Unless it's a thing already.
- robjan 4y agoIt's a thing, especially in developing countries. You often get xGB data with an additional xGB social media data.
- hot_gril 4y agoYeah, constant reminder not to take the wide-open internet for granted.
- dingi 4y agoits already a thing in some countries. Operators in my country have unlimited packages for social media and streaming services.
- ranguna 4y agoPortugal used to have that, but I think they stopped it because the EU said no. Thank god.
