How to Reduce Netflix Data Usage on AT&T iPhone

Step 2. Launch Settings.
Step 3. Go to Mobile Data / Cellular and find Netflix menu below Use Mobile Data For to understand how much data it is using on the iPhone.
Step 4. Launch your Netflix application and open App Settings. You need to click on the 3 lines in the top left corner and then press the settings to select Cellular Data Usage.
Step 5. If you ‘Set Automatically’ option doesn’t satisfy your data needs you can adjust the settings manually by choosing Off, Low, Medium, High or Unlimited option. This way you can block cellular streaming or allow particular hours / GB to save your mobile data usage.
AT&T iPhone users who happen to have the grandfathered unlimited data plan might enjoy the Unlimited setting as it saves the highest quality of Netflix videos for you. Still remember that AT&T likes to throttle users who ‘overuse’ their unlimited data.
