Missing 3G and 4G options in iPhone running iOS 26

Hello,




After updating my iPhone to iOS 26, I noticed that the options for 3G and 4G/LTE have disappeared from the “Voice & Data” or “Cellular Data Options” settings. Now, my device only shows 5G or automatic mode, and I can no longer manually select 3G or 4G.




This change has caused serious connectivity issues for me, since in my area 4G is unstable and I often rely on 3G for better coverage. Please clarify whether this is a bug in iOS 26 or a permanent change by Apple. If it’s intentional, I would like to request that Apple bring back the ability to manually choose 3G and 4G in future updates, as many users still depend on these networks.




Thank you for your support.
