The VKontakte team announced the launch of a new useful feature for the VK Video platform. It is designed to provide savings in data consumption for users with limited Internet traffic.

The new function “VK Video” automatically selects the quality of videos. According to the developers, this reduces the consumption of Internet traffic and saves battery power when viewing content from smartphones and computers.
Saving mode is available in the VK mobile app for iOS, Android and web version. Data saving mode can be enabled in the video player settings, for example, when using a mobile network with limited Internet traffic or unstable network access.

The function is enabled for a specific device and affects the auto-selection of quality only on it. So the user can save traffic and battery power of the smartphone and at the same time watch videos without restrictions in maximum resolution on a computer or smart TV. You can return to a higher resolution at any time manually – for example, when connecting to unlimited Wi-Fi.
Recall that the VK Video platform combined the video bases of VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and all products of VK (the former Mail.ru Group).
Earlier, the Ministry of Digital Transformation sent a recommendation to mobile operators to “exclude unlimited traffic consumption” and introduce restrictions on unlimited tariffs.
