After switching to Project Fi, I started tracking my mobile data usage. Below is the summary of what I've done so far to reduce my bills.
Google Play Music
Turn on Stream only on Wi-Fi in Settings
If you want to stream over mobile network, set Quality on mobile network to Low.
YouTube
Turn on Limit mobile data usage in Settings -> General. This will only stream HD videos on Wi-Fi.
Google Photos
Turn off Cellular data back up in Settings -> Back up & sync
Google Play
In Settings (General) set Auto-update apps to Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only.
Google Plus
Turn on Conserve data usage in Settings (General)
Google Maps
Turn on Wi-Fi only in Settings. Click on your offline areas link and save the area around your home. Google Maps can save areas larger than a half of the state of Washington in size.
I'll update this post when I learn about other apps that consume a lot of data. Project Fi app reports data usage per app, so it's easy to track apps that abuse mobile data.
