I have an iPhone SE running ios 12.1.2 (16C101) on Chatr 35.0 cellular network (part of the Rogers network in Canada). in Settings, Cellular I scroll down to Wi-Fi Assist, and it's on, but the slider is "greyed out" (it's actually a pale green) and can't be changed to the off position. BTW, the same is true for the entire list of apps that can use up data. Meaning that they too cannot be turned off.
Please help.
Hello Pazmundo,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are unable to make changes to apps that use Cellular Data, or turn Wi-Fi Assist off on your iPhone SE. You've come to the right place for help.
Let's start by confirming if there are any restrictions preventing changes to these settings:
Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Specifically, follow the steps under "Allow changes to other settings and features" to confirm that Cellular Data Changes is set to Allow, then see if you can turn cellular data on and off for apps:
Check the cellular data usage on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support
Have a safe and happy new year!
