To allow access to the Apple Store via cellular connection, open Settings > Cellular then scroll down to Show All. From there, you can find Apple Store and turn cellular On.

”Uninstalled apps” keeps using up cellular data Hello, recently I deleted and reinstalled a bunch of apps on my phone. and noticed that there was a section called uninstalled apps that used up about 60 KB of data. I let it be for a while and didn’t delete nor update any apps after that. when I looked again it was suddenly at around 160 KB of data and now recently around 200 KB of data should I be worried or is this something apple just does, I did read that having iCloud synced be a cause and I did turn it off. I’ll notify you if it keeps on using my internet. Best regards// Val
