How can o get my iPhone 12 to do a google search once I leave my house!

How can get my iPhone 12 to work once I leave the house. I can’t open any apps? I talked to all of the experts already they can’t seem to solve this problem. Is this a t-mobile thing!

You have the option of allowing an app to work only on wifi, or to work on cellular, too. Please try this:

Open Settings > Cellular. Scroll down to the list of apps and make sure Google is set to On. Back out by tapping Settings at the top, left. This will save your preference.


Let us know if this works.

Once you leave the house you need Public Wi-Fi, see this Apple article: Use captive Wi-Fi networks on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch -> Use captive Wi-Fi networks on your iPhone or iPad – Apple Support (UK)

 

Nowadays, Public Wi-Fi is offered for free, in big cities, shopping centers, in Public Transport (bus & train), airport, restaurants and others.

That depends on where you live.

If at the moment you are away from home and there is no Public Wi-Fi, you have to use Mobile Data, for sure go to -> Settings -> Mobile network -> Mobile Data -> ON.
