How do I stop Youtube eating my mobile data allowance?

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have a Galaxcy S3 with a 500MB monthly data allowance. Youtube gets watched regularly at home on wi-fi. One evening the wi-fi couldn't have been connected for some reason and the remainder of my allowance - 460MB got used in one go.

How can I stop Youtube using the mobile data and only conect via wi-fi?

Looking at the app settings for youtube there is only a background wi-fi setting, not foreground.

Regards,

 

Jeremy.
