## Description

Sync Data Manager, formerly known as Background Data Police, is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help Android users conserve battery life and reduce data consumption. It achieves this by providing timely reminders—such as pop-ups, notifications, and quick access to settings—to disable background data and auto-sync, which allows apps to send information even when your device is sleeping.

Given Android’s security restrictions that prevent apps from directly toggling background data, Sync Data Manager offers flexible reminder options that you can tailor to your preferences. It supports different reminder types and data categories, including the ability to disable reminders on WiFi networks if you prefer to limit restrictions to mobile data. Compatible with Android 4 and above, the extension also automatically manages auto-sync settings based on your WiFi or mobile data connection changes, making it an essential tool for maximizing device efficiency.

## Review summary

Users find Sync Data Manager useful, especially for syncing Google accounts on Chinese ROM devices, and appreciate its security. However, several users report the app crashes or fails to open, and there's no option to keep sync always off, which some desire. Sync features can be unreliable, and compatibility with older Android versions like Lollipop is uncertain.
