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!

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.
