Last week I was travelling on a different country. I was mostly without WiFi and I bought a prepaid SIM card with some GB. TikTok ate 2GB of "background data" in two days, even if I did not open the app.

So it's not hard for me to guess how they do it...

(Yes, background data is now disabled for TikTok on my phone... I learned my lesson)

Won't be long before some cell plans have special discounts for TikTok data like with WhatsApp. Unless it's a thing already.

Portugal used to have that, but I think they stopped it because the EU said no. Thank god.

It's a thing, especially in developing countries. You often get xGB data with an additional xGB social media data.

its already a thing in some countries. Operators in my country have unlimited packages for social media and streaming services.
