If you have been using the Yahoo Fantasy Sports & Daily mobile application constantly, then you may have noticed that it is using a lot of bandwidth that what you were expecting.
To see how you can reduce the internet usage of this app, you can follow this guide at Overly Technical.
1. The first solution you can try is to make sure that you the auto-play videos aren’t enabled in the application. In order to do so, you need to take the following steps:
Start by opening the Yahoo Fantasy Sports App if you haven’t done so already.
In the home page of the app, you then need to tap the gear cog icon that should be placed on the top left side of the screen.
You should now arrive in the Settings menu, which is where you need to select Video Autoplay.
In the Video Autoplay pop-up menu, you can select the WiFi Only option if you want videos to automatically play when you scroll by it only when your device is connected to the Internet via a Wi-Fi connection. To disable this feature completely, then you need to select the Never option from the pop-up menu instead.
2. You can also try disabling the Show Player Headshots and Show NFL Live features.
In order to do so, go back to the Settings menu in the Yahoo Fantasy Sports & Daily App. Next, you need to make sure that the Show Player Headshots and Show NFL Live settings are both turned off.
