Google Datally app that wanted to save data couldn't save itself

Yet ar Google product meets an untimely death. Google Datally, app that wanted to save your mobile data, couldn't save itself, sly. According to Android Police report, app has been removed from Google Play Store without any prior tification. This comes as surprise because Google is a master at killing off its own apps that don't fly (in or words,  unsuccessful apps).

Google has a long list of apps under its portfolio and some of se apps are extremely popular. For example, Maps, YouTube or fairly new Google Pay (previously Tez) are some of highly popular Google apps out re. But t everything that Google does or launches is equally popular. In fact, Google has h so many apps that failed to stand out. In past, Google has pulled plug on Hangouts (Classic), Inbox by Gmail, Allo and Google+ for same reason.

w, Datally joins list of failed Google apps. To recall, Datally was launched in vember 2017. Google launched Datally to help users man data us on ir smartphones.

It used to show how much data each app is consuming and at what time. It also used to recommend users to shut off data based on ir us activity and in some cases, suggest open public Wi-Fi networks available nearby. re was also a dedicated tab to scan for Wi-Fi connections available nearby.

Why Datally wasn't helpful much

For one main reason, perhaps. In markets like India, data has become so cheap that users don't seem concerned about saving data anymore, thanks to Jio's entry in Indian market. Data affordability could be primarily why users don't seem concerned about ir data us se days. Secondly, Datally wasn't marketed eugh by Google. Perhaps, limited use case scenarios could be ar reason why Datally didn't stand out.

In Android, you can save data by limiting your us. You can set data us warning and limit in Settings. You can also restrict background data us by app or turn off auto-sync.
