Switching on 3G when WiFi network is disconnected

Is there a method or a workaround that switches cellular data to 3G when the iPhone disconnects from a specified network?


Plz note : For the reverse, I already have a shortcut working well that turns on 2G upon connection to a specific network WiFi (home)


thanks

If you just leave cellular data enabled, it will automatically pick up once you leave the WiFi network. When the phone connects to a WiFi network, it will use that for (almost) everything as long as the phone is unlocked. There's no need to do anything.
