So every time I go on the App Store every time it’s over like 1000 or something he says you can’t download OK

It sounds like you're encountering a download limit issue on your iPhone's App Store. Apple has a default restriction for downloading apps over cellular data if they exceed a certain size, typically 200 MB. Here's how you can adjust this setting:


1. Go to Settings: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

2. Navigate to App Store: Scroll down and tap on App Store.

3. Adjust App Downloads: Under the Cellular Data section, tap App Downloads. You'll see options like:

  • Always Allow: Allows all apps to download automatically using cellular data.
  • Ask If Over 200 MB: Prompts you for confirmation when downloading apps larger than 200 MB.
  • Always Ask: Requires permission for all app downloads over cellular data.


Choose the option that best suits your needs.
