I have an iPhone 13, can I use WiFi to update my apps instead of cellular data? If so, how? I have selected WiFi and it doesn’t do anything.

I have selected WiFi and it doesn’t do anything. So unusually just been doing cellular data, but it does use a lot up.

iPhone 13, iOS 17

If you Can't Update Using WiFi:

So, is WiFi just not working? Or are you just not able to install updates using it?

  1. Go Here: If your iPhone or iPad won't Update - Apple Support
  2. Scroll to: If you can’t install the latest version of iOS or iPadOS on your iPhone or iPad
  3. Wha's Provided:
