How to update my iPhone iOS using mobile data?

Is there any way to update the software through our mobile data if not then why?

There are situation which we don’t have any wifi connection to update but we have to update the new software,

I know that there is a way of updating,

Either from iTunes or a hotspot,

but connect through hotspot and update the software take a double or triple time then the normal and I’m sure that there a lot of iOS user which doesn’t used iTunes also.

so please it’s a request from a iOS user to access to allow mobile data to update software.

You can if you have 5G.


Use 5G with your iPhone

Correct. Slower and less stable data systems are not supported and you have to use WiFi or a computer with either WiFi or Ethernet.Click on a link below for full instructions about how to update with wi-fi or 5G, or using a computer if you have storage or connectivity issues.
