  • Snapchat has been known to gobble up data now and then – especially since the introduction its discovery feature earlier this year.

    But a new update could help with that.

    The company has added a new feature to the app called ‘Travel Mode’. When enabled, Travel Mode disables auto-loading of content when you’re using cellular data. When you have Travel Mode on, you have to tap to load your snaps.

    So, you’re trading the convenience of quick, auto-loaded snaps for the piece of mind that you’re not blowing past your data allowance.
