5G Standalone is Missing After Updating to iOS 16.4

Great update. I also called them half an hour ago. They didn’t tell me such thing. But it good to know that they at least acknowledged and responded you and may be other many users.

Dis they give any timeline anyway?

First turnoff wifi & make sure you are connected to jio 5G as you can see in my screenshot I was connected 5G then check under 5G NR Connection status instead of RAT service info.

were you able to connect jio 5G before iOS 16.4? If not then you may have not received the jio 5G welcome offer.

Just 10 mins ago I went out of home and went to a spot where 5G coverage is strong. I had to restart my handset after which it indeed connected to Jio True5G. But surprisingly under RAT info the “deployment type” went away. Radio was NR. And under 5G NR section it was showing LTE. Mind was boggled. I forgot to take screenshots- which I’ll try to take tomorrow though.

By the way, before 16.4, I’ve been using 5G full on, since iOS brought 5G support in Dec

@kaustav, please don’t forgot to note the 5G band next time, sometimes if you are on N28 then it may show the LTE thing, also remember one more thing if you see 5G on top left of control centre its mean you are latched on N28 band and if you see jioTrue5G then its mean you are on N78 band.

You can reset network settings under general >> reser or transfer >> reser network settings

after that you will be able to use 5g if it’s available in you city just turn on this setting

Mobile data >> Mobile data options >> voice & data >> 5g auto or 5g on

Don’t know, for me everything is working just fine I’m enjoying download speed between 500 to 1400+ Mbps voice connectivity is also fine, may be you should try taking a screenshot later when you’re latched on JioTrue5G.

by the way which place you belong to and what speed you are getting?

are you using eSIM?

It seems to be that you are using dual SIM, please make sure that you are choosing the correct SIM in field test menu.

Don’t worry you are on SA network as Jio only serve SA network and that’s why the Standalone toggle switch is missing on iOS 16.4 as there is no use of that cause Apple switched SA on as default for Jio 5G.

I have double checked, triple checked in fact . the screenshots I pasted are from Jio connection tab - not from my other SIM. And Yes - I agree that Jio has only SA implementation done as per media posts at least.. So I presume that I am on SA network

I am using 14 plus iOS 16.3 5G standalone option that time available but after update iOS 16.4 that 5G Standalone is not available without 5G standalone 5G speed now 126mbps in Jio sim before iOS 16.3 with 5G standalone download speed 1.1 Gbps

Yes, he is true. Jio has 2 types of 5G coverage .i.e., SA & NSA. That is why in areas where 5G coverage is poor, they provide NSA type of 5G. It is true that Jio has the largest SA type of 5G across the country but that doesn’t mean NSA type 5G is not given.

Same here for me. 5G standalone toggle is missing. I am from India & my carrier is JIO

You would become enlightened if you read the thread you posted to. JIO’s network is now all 5G SA, so there is no need for a switch.

Update my iOS to iOS 15

Your post appears to have no relationship to questions about 5G SA on iPhones on JIO’s network in India. You would get much more useful results starting a NEW thread by clicking Ask the Community at the top of this page.

5g never stopped working even if the SA toggle button went off, of course if you be in coverage. If in case someone sees 5g stopped working, plz go for network reset. But before that you can check at area where you used to have good 5g coverage earlier

I have 5g activated by my operator Jio. But after 5g stand-alone option was taken out, I am not able to use. Request developers to consider of bringing this option again.

Developers have nothing to do with it. The cellular settings are programmed by the carrier, not by Apple developers. And if you have no 5G SA option that is because your carrier’s network is ALL 5G SA, so there is no need for a switch to turn on what is already on. 5G hybrid, also called 5G NSA, was an interim protocol that used LTE to set up 5G connections. It existed solely to allow deployment of 5G quickly, before full 5G networks could be set up, and was always intended to go away. Now it has been retired on most carriers’ networks.
