I have done some research and haven't found a solid answer, so I'm hoping that someone here can help me.
I am trying to figure out if there is a way that I can turn off background data/automatic syncing in all of my apps when I'm connected to Wi-Fi. Besides going in to each app and turning off the syncing.
The reason for this is that I'm going to be going on a cruise and the Wi-Fi on the ship is not exactly cheap, so I'd like not to go through a lot of data every time I connect to it because all of my apps decide that they are going to connect.
I have a Nexus 5 running 6.0.
I've read about the "Metered Wi-Fi network" settings, but it doesn't say exactly what it does - in the help it mainly talks about restricting background data on a mobile network, and setting data limits on a mobile network, even though it's supposed to be the "help" about Metered Wi-Fi networks.
Any assistance/advice would be greatly appreciated, because I really don't want to have to go through each app and disable any syncing that it's doing - that could take a while!
