How many Gigabytes (GB) does the Firestick can consume?

We all agree to the fact that the Firestick works with the help of the internet to stream live videos, movies, TV shows, etc. So when it comes to the gigabyte (GB) usage by Firestick, technically it varies from person to person. Some of the factors that contribute to more data or internet usage can be the quality of the video. If an individual chooses to watch a high-quality video of 4K then it will consume more data usage than the standard quality of the video. 

It also depends on the duration of the video or movie an individual is watching. But according to the "into window" survey, if an individual chooses to watch the standard quality videos on firestick it will nearly consume about 900Mb per hour. And an average if an individual watches videos of the best quality it will consume data of average 3.5GB whereas if an individual watches videos of 4K quality it will consume about 6GB data per hour. As per the guidelines, the firestick has the power to ingest your instructions on data and video quality allowance.

But all the people out there have the common question that does Firestick consume data even when not in use?

As we all know that the connection of firestick is with the HDMI port. Now this HDMI port is located either at the back or at the side of the TV. So many times it is unnoticeable. But unfortunately, there is a lack of guidelines about how much the Firestick consumes when it is not in use. So we can have a rough conclusion that Firestick may consume some data even when not in use. However, if the connection of Firestick is completely turned off, then it goes without saying that it won't consume more data connection. But if it is left on than Firestick may consume some amount of data.

Can you try to reduce data usage consumed by Firestick?

As many continuously people add a query that "Does the Firestick automatically turns off when the TV us off?" The answer will be absolute "Yes". If there is no power supply to the TV, automatically there will be a power supply given to the firestick that is connected to the TV. There are typically two ways to reduce data usage by the firestick.

So the very first way to reduce the data usage consumed by the firestick is to turn off the TV or firestick when not in use. The second way will be to watch the streaming videos, movies in low quality so low data will be consumed. To do the second step, one can use the following steps:

Open Menu > Select the Display and Sound Video Resolution option > Tap on the lower resolution option.

To know more details about how much data is consumed by the firestick, follow the following steps:

Tap on settings > Select preference > Choose data monitoring option > Then click toggle ON

Therefore this one simple and a very convenient little device and immense capabilities of its own!

Even though firestick has a high powered program but unfortunately it has some limitations. But there are some Firestick’s drawback is that it can consume more data usage. For this, an individual has to always have a check on the amount of data usage by the firestick. And when the firestick is not in use it needs to be turned off, so that no heavy data usage occurs. So if an individual is using firestick on the cellular data, then more data charges may occur. Also if firestick is used for the long hours it can be overheated.
