Description
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 phone’s Internet connection or wasting your mobile data.
Key features • GlassWire’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. • See a graph of which apps are currently using your mobile carrier data or Wi-Fi Internet connection. • Instantly know every time a new app accesses the network and begins using Wi-Fi or mobile data. • 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. • 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. • Check GlassWire’s Speed Meter on its notification bar to quickly see real-time data usage. • Help protect your privacy and reveal suspicious app activity through GlassWire’s graph. • Block apps from connecting to the network, or allow or deny new connections before they start with GlassWire’s mobile firewall. Create multiple firewall profiles, one for mobile and one for WiFi. • Have an unlimited plan? Unfortunately, most ‘unlimited’ 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.

Comments on GlassWire Data Usage Monitor for Android
★★★★★Guido Lindenstock· Feb 10, 2026
Extremely useful when you look for data spilling apps, and you're on a data plan! The firewall feature is also very good, so no rogue app can connect to the internet without the user getting a message!
★★★★★Paul O· Jan 25, 2026
This has helped me track and maintain my monthly usage limits, also the firewall feature is very good. I can actually block all internet connections for other apps and concentrate it on just one App
★★★★★Vhuthuhawe Irvin· May 17, 2026
Glassware is a data saver, for real. I've been looking for an app that can help me track which app uses the most data and disable data for apps for a long time. Can you guys create a feature for us users to limit the amount of data each app can use in a day? Thank you and God✝️😊 bless you on your hard work ♥️

The app has a large permanent and unhirable banner telling you to install the desktop version of glassware. It is on every tab and there's another, larger banner in the settings menu.

If I can't choose wherever app got permissions to make phone calls or not it's got no use for me. Bin

Used this app with paid sub for 3 or 4 years, specifically for the data usage notification that shows current transfer speeds. Since about the last year or so, the persistent notification would freeze every 2 to 3 weeks. It will stop tracking data and stop showing real time transfer speeds. Quitting the app doesn't work, and the notification won't come back if swiped away. It's like the app no longer updates the notification. Only force closing will fix it. Happens on multiple phones S24 and S25

Is not working properly. The number of used data is incorrect.
