In addition to a big web update set for next month, Google Meet is picking up a new “limit data usage” setting on Android and iOS. It allows users to further optimize video call quality for their current device and network conditions.
Meet already adjusts device, network, and set-up to “provide the best possible meeting experience.” Google is now letting users take that a step further on mobile to:
- Minimize cellular data usage
- Maximize battery life
- Free up your device’s CPU and memory for other tasks
This toggle is named “Limit data usage,” but it alters two other key Meet behaviors. In the dedicated Meet mobile app — not Gmail — open Settings from the navigation drawer. It’s the only option besides “Send more diagnostic info.”
