  1. I’m a user of Google pixel 6a. I must it’s a very nice phone. I bought mine two weeks ago and it works perfectly well but my only setback about the the phone is that it consumes enough mobile data in a short period of time. I’ve tried all the possible measures to reduce the mobile data consumption but to not avail. Please help me.
