8. 8
   Find the first option, "Limit mobile data usage"

   .

   Its description says "Only stream HD video on WiFi". To stream HD video, it can take up a lot of space and cost more money because of the high quality of the video. It can take more bandwidth. That is why it can be better to use only when we have WiFi. This will limit our mobile data usage. Currently, this option is not activated, which we can see because the adjacent box is empty.
