Which apps consume the most data while traveling?

The applications of video streaming and visual social networks (TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube, Netflix) are by far the most data-intensive. For example, watching high-definition videos can consume up to 3 GB of data per hour.

THE video calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime, Zoom) come in second place with average consumption varying between 200 and 500 MB per hour. Conversely, text messaging applications (WhatsApp, SMS) and traditional web browsing remain extremely economical in terms of data.

• You will receive an alert message to warn you in advance.

• You can top up your gigabytes directly from the Miio website in just a few clicks. The top-up is automatically applied to your current eSIM, without you needing to reinstall a new QR code or change any settings.

Does GPS (Google Maps / Apple Maps) consume a lot of internet?

No, using GPS navigation apps is very low-power. Live navigation on Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze consumes on average only 15 to 20 MB of data per hour, which is very negligible on a standard plan.

Miio travel tip: To save 100 % of your data on journeys, download the map of your destination city or region on Google Maps over Wi-Fi before you leave (using the "Offline Maps" function). This will allow you to use GPS continuously, even without an active connection.
