Apps not working with cellular data

I’ve had this issue for awhile and my apps won’t work with my cellular data when I’m out and about. The apps only work when I’m on wifi, what should I do?

iPhone 8, iOS 16

Thank you a thousand times - that did the trick!

It is worth noting that the menu has changed slightly in the latest iOS-version, so you first have to choose "Reset" from the menu and only after that you are prompted with the options what to actually reset. So now it is:


Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings


After the reset the iphone will restart automatically, so don´t panic when your screen turns dark.

I have been having problems with Cellular Data as well. Some social media apps like YouTube, TikTok just don’t work unless if it’s on WiFi. I can search the web and play some games. But it is mostly social media. I have tried restarting the phone, resetting network settings, turning off and on cellular data, everything including checking my T-Mobile settings and nothing has changed. Please help. It’s been going on for a couple weeks now.
