About this app

GlassWire is the ultimate data usage monitor for Android! Our app makes it easy to monitor your mobile data usage, data limits, and WiFi network activity.
Instantly see what apps are slowing your phoneā€™s Internet connection or wasting your mobile data.

Key features
ā€¢ GlassWireā€™s data alerts keep you under your data limit and save you money on your monthly phone bill. Get alerted before you reach your carrier data limit to avoid overage fees.
ā€¢ See a graph of which apps are currently using your mobile carrier data or Wi-Fi Internet connection.
ā€¢ Instantly know every time a new app accesses the network and begins using Wi-Fi or mobile data.
ā€¢ Swipe right to go back in time to see which apps used mobile data earlier in the week or month. See past Wi-Fi or mobile usage by day or month.
ā€¢ Go to GlassWire's "Data Plan" screen to set up zero-rated apps that won't have their data usage counted against your data plan. GlassWire can also keep track of roaming, and roll-over minutes. Create a data usage widget.
ā€¢ Check GlassWireā€™s Speed Meter on its notification bar to quickly see real-time data usage.
ā€¢ Help protect your privacy and reveal suspicious app activity through GlassWireā€™s graph.
ā€¢ Block apps from connecting to the network, or allow or deny new connections before they start with GlassWireā€™s mobile firewall. Create multiple firewall profiles, one for mobile and one for WiFi.
ā€¢ Have an unlimited plan? Unfortunately, most ā€˜unlimitedā€™ plans will throttle you (slow & limit your connection) once you user a certain amount of data. GlassWire can alert you when you start to get throttled.

Protecting your privacy ā€“ 20 million users protected!
Our Windows and Android software combined have been downloaded over 20 million times! We make money through sales of our GlassWire for Windows software, not by selling your data to third parties. With GlassWire your data and app usage information never leave your phone. GlassWire will NEVER show you ads or violate your privacy.

Instantly block badly behaving apps with GlassWireā€™s firewall
Instantly allow or deny new app connections with GlassWireā€™s new mobile firewall. The Firewall feature is based on a VPN connection (VpnService API) that GlassWire creates to block connections from unwanted applications. GlassWire never uses your personal information for commercial purposes, advertisement, or shares it with third parties.

Supported mobile networks & providers
GlassWireā€™s data manager features work great with many different mobile data providers and telecoms world-wide including Verizon, T-Mobile, Vodaphone, AT&T, Sprint, Magenta, and Jio. Itā€™s also compatible with 3G, 4G, 5G, Edge, GPRS, Wi-Fi, and most other popular telecommunications networks. GlassWire can also provide you with Internet usage alerts if your Cable, DSL, or Satellite ISP has data caps.

Have used Glasswire for several years and it has always provided a great service. However the Premium subscription fee was taken in January for all the features that are now available for free. You can't say the move to free features wasn't in the works at beginning of the year. May I please get my subscription fee back?

I like and wanted to ability to see what apps were connecting out and track down which one was generating some issues but this doesn't show everything. I have some that are connecting out but they aren't identified. You get a thousand foot view which is okay but not what I was looking for. Overall it's a good app for most traffic but I need more details.

ENSURE FIREWALL EXPERIMENTAL MODE IS TURNED OFF! Having the firewall set to "Experimental" rather than "Default" mode increases latency from low two digit values to mid-upper three digit values! Several of my apps including Weather Underground refuse to work with latencies over 500ms. Other than the firewall "Experimental" mode, I found this to be a very useful app for tracking & mapping mobile & wifi data usage. The dark mode makes the values & graphs much easier to read.
