A user can enable or disable background data usage by following the following steps:
1. From the Home screen, tap the app slider, then open "Settings".
2. Select "Data usage".
3. Select "Cellular data usage".
4. Select the app you want to limit background data on.
5. Toggle "Background data" to "On" or "Off" as desired.
The question is - is there anyway to do it on a mass scale for all apps so that a user do not need to keep repeating the five steps as described above?
Example, a user just need to follow the following steps:
1. From the Home screen, tap the app slider, then open "Settings".
2. Select "Data usage".
3. Select "Background data usage", which will list all the apps. Each row will display the app name, the app version and a "On/Off" switch. If the app was "On" for background data, it will be a "On" for that switch.
4. Toggle "Background data" to "On" or "Off" as desired thru scrolling on the same page.
(Step 3 should look something like the picture below, which the picture illustrate which WIFI to be "On" or "Off" as a metered Wifi network.)
