With some useful set of features in iOS 13 like dark mode, improved photos app, better privacy and a lot more got my attention right away! But the best of all was the low data mode introduced in iOS 13 that can eventually save your cellular and Wi-Fi data if you have a limited plan. And to save data was a long process back in iOS 12
When you turn on low data mode in iOS 13, the background app refresh stops and it also blocks the communication of those apps. It holds down all the app requests and syncing tasks when the low data mode is on. The photos app too won’t be able to take a backup of your photos. You can only get your apps back to normal when it’s connected to a network that doesn’t have low data mode turned on. Overall, this can also improve the battery life of your iPhone.
