How Much Data Does YouTube Use?
Here's the Full Breakdown! Ever wondered why your data vanishes so fast after watching just a few YouTube videos?

This chart reveals the actual data usage per minute & per hour for each video quality level - from 144p to 1080p.
Here's what you need to know:

144p = 1.3 MB/min → 80 MB/hr

240p = 3.3 MB/min → 200 MB/hr

360p = 5 MB/min → 300 MB/hr

480p = 8.3 MB/min → 500 MB/hr

720p (HD) = 25 MB/min → 1.5 GB/hr

1080p (Full HD) = 50 MB/min → 3 GB/hr

Streaming just 1 hour at 1080p can eat up 3GB of your daily data!

Be smart - save your data, manage your plan, and choose wisely!
