On 7 November 2026 we have not yet read the store-listing sizes of the candidate apps, so we publish no size range. The App Store and Google Play show a size where the listing gives one. We have not yet read any operator figure for mobile data use. Where an operator gives none, this page will say The operator does not publish this.

## What we will record for each app

**Size and data fields to be filled. Source: App Store (IE) and Google Play listings, operator help pages · checked 7 November 2026**

| Operator (candidate, licence to be confirmed) | iPhone size | Android size | Mobile data use published | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| bet365 | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| BetVictor | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| Betway | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| BoyleSports | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| Paddy Power | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| Sky Bet | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| Unibet | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| William Hill | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |

The range (smallest to largest, in MB) is derived from the filled cells and dated. It is blank today.

**In short:** eight apps, five fields, and every cell waits for a dated reading.

## See the size on your own phone

Menu names differ by phone, maker and software version. Check them against Apple's and Google's current help pages.

- **iPhone:** Settings, General, iPhone Storage lists each app with its size.
- **Android:** Settings, Storage or Apps lists each app with its size.

Whether a listing's size matches the space the app takes after install is Not checked, so read your phone's own figure.

**In short:** your phone's storage list is the number that matters for your space.

## See and limit mobile data

- **iPhone:** Settings, Mobile Data or Mobile Service shows use by app and lets you switch an app off.
- **Android:** Settings, Network and internet, Data usage shows use by app and offers a background data setting.
- Watch roaming separately if you travel. See [using an app abroad](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/use-irish-betting-app-abroad/).

**In short:** switching background data off for one app is a per-app setting on both systems.

## What operators do not publish

We have not yet read an operator figure for how much mobile data a betting app uses. Until a document gives one, the cell reads The operator does not publish this.

We do not estimate it. Live streaming and in-play screens are features the apps list; see [live streaming in betting apps](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/live-streaming-in-betting-apps/).

**In short:** no data figure is quoted because none has been read.

## How we checked

No listing or help page was read for this version. When we read them we record the size as shown, the storefront, the platform and the date. Sources and dates follow the [data protocol](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/store-and-register-data-protocol/).

**In short:** the first dated range comes with the D2 snapshot.
