My Data Guard : noRoot Firewall

When traveling, using mobile data to access the internet can be costly, but you might still need some apps to be able to connect to it, even if not all of them. You might have a smaller data plan or you would just simply like to have more control over what apps can access the internet on your Android smartphone. Whatever your motivation, setting up a firewall that does exactly this, is not very complicated.

Apps like Facebook, 9gag, Dropbox, Whatsapp, Gmail and others like them are pretty big data hogs, and sometimes they connect to Internet in background and consume those valuable MB of data.
