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

Hello Vhrndez23,


To turn on cellular data access for applications go to Settings > Cellular, then scroll down to the page to the list of apps. In there, find the applications you want to have access to cellular data, then turn on the toggle switch for them.


Use cellular data on your iPhone


Cheers!

You have to reset your network settings and all will be fine. I have faced same problem for some apps after updating to iOS 17.2.2.


Note that all saved wireless network and personal hotspot shall be wiped during this corrective action. Note these down if required before performing this action.


Steps to follow:-

  1. Open Settings on your iPhone.
  2. Head to General > Reset.
  3. Now, click on Reset Network Settings.
  4. Enter your iPhone’s passcode and tap Reset Network Settings to confirm.



All the best, hope it works for you as well.
