Will Netspark consume my mobile data or drain my battery?
Netspark does not consume mobile data. However, your device may show Netspark as the source of mobile data usage. This is because Netspark filters your web traffic through our special server before it reaches your device. In such cases, Netspark is only a middle layer between your network and your device, not the real source of the data usage.
Similarly, Netspark is very efficient, and does not consume more battery than most other apps. Our tests show that battery usage on a device with Netspark is almost identical to the same setup without Netspark. Some devices may identify Netspark as the source of significant battery usage, but that is only because Netspark is filtering activity from other apps. These other apps, not Netspark, are probably draining most of your battery.
