GlassWire is the ultimate data usage monitor for Android! Our app makes it easy to monitor your mobile data usage, data limits, and WiFi network activity.

Key features<\/strong>
\u2022 GlassWire\u2019s data alerts keep you under your data limit and save you money on your monthly phone bill. Get alerted before you reach your carrier data limit to avoid overage fees.
\u2022 See a graph of which apps are currently using your mobile carrier data or Wi-Fi Internet connection.
\u2022 Instantly know every time a new app accesses the network and begins using Wi-Fi or mobile data.
\u2022 Swipe right to go back in time to see which apps used mobile data earlier in the week or month. See past Wi-Fi or mobile usage by day or month.
\u2022 Go to GlassWire’s “Data Plan” screen to set up zero-rated apps that won’t have their data usage counted against your data plan. GlassWire can also keep track of roaming, and roll-over minutes. Create a data usage widget.
\u2022 Check GlassWire\u2019s Speed Meter on its notification bar to quickly see real-time data usage.
\u2022 Help protect your privacy and reveal suspicious app activity through GlassWire\u2019s graph.
\u2022 Block apps from connecting to the network, or allow or deny new connections before they start with GlassWire\u2019s mobile firewall. Create multiple firewall profiles, one for mobile and one for WiFi.
\u2022 Have an unlimited plan? Unfortunately, most \u2018unlimited\u2019 plans will throttle you (slow & limit your connection) once you user a certain amount of data. GlassWire can alert you when you start to get throttled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
