If you enjoy watching movies and TV shows in the Amazon Prime app on your iPhone, then you may be asking yourself “how do I change my Amazon Prime Video settings on an iPhone” when you want to reduce the amount of data that streaming consumes.

Amazon Video has one of the biggest and best libraries of movies to purchase or rent, and any owned or rented video can also be watched via the Amazon Video app on your iPhone.

You can even sign up for Amazon Prime (click here if you want to try it out for free for 30 days) to gain access to additional TV shows and movies that you can stream as part of that subscription.

These videos can be streamed over Wi-Fi or cellular networks, so you might be looking for a way to adjust the Amazon Prime Video quality settings so that you can use less mobile data when you decide to watch a movie or TV show.

Aside from the ability to change video quality as we have discussed above, you can adjust a number of other options for the Prime Video app on your mobile phone.

For example, if you select Parental Controls from the settings tab menu you can change the following options:

• Viewing restrictions – lets you determine the ratings of videos that can be watched
• Purchase restrictions – allows you to restrict any purchases through the app
• Change Prime Video PIN – you can change the PIN that is required to be entered before purchasing something in the app

Note that you are going to need to know the password for the Amazon account to change any of these settings.
