Nostr should probably think about ways to address this. How can we gain mass adoption if people can't use it while out and about?

Its also still pretty crap in the browser on desktop imho...
I find that some clients work 80% 10% of the time lol
nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 android being designed with low data mode to start

on damus iOS have you tried disabling auto-load media to test bandwidth usage?
I have 10 gigs and use amethyst all the time on the go... Idk why others seem to have big probs with this.
Damus used 35.4GB for me, and I barely use Damus when I'm outside. I literally open for 2 mins and close out (maybe it's still running in background? I don't know...) That is how I use the app most of the time - open, upload an image (some outdoor crap), and close. I may be underestimating the frequency, but it's certainly not like I would have used Twitter back in the day.
Just looked, I was on vacation for memorial Day and used for a 4 day weekend mostly on data and a lot in the car ride and was a lot more than usual but past month usage even with that was 9.2gb
Data limits are a scam. Soon unlimited will in fact be unlimited. In one way or another.
Personal servers. Connect your client to a single backend that is doing most of the work for you and only requires fetching minimal data. (Feed diffs, etc)
