How to change video playback settings for iPhone apps

I just watched a full episode on Showtime TV that I just downloaded and now it won’t let me continue. It’s saying you have restricted video playback to Wi-Fi connection. If you want to play video with your cellular connection, Change your selection in your video playback settings. I don’t understand I just watch the full episode why is it telling me this now and I have no idea where to go on my settings and change this.

Hi JenniferC1977,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you're unable to stream video over a cellular connection when using the Showtime app, and we'd like to assist. Have you checked what settings are available in Settings > Showtime?


You may also want to make sure you're not in Low Data Mode:


Use Low Data Mode on your iPhone and iPad


You can also check your cellular data usage for that app and make sure it's still turned on:


Check the cellular data usage on your iPhone and iPad


Take care.
