No, Mission not accomplished.
The issue here is not to generally download things over cellular.
Its to download things that are over 100MB in size over cellular.
And that cannot be done as it is a system limitation.
This is a limitation Apple has set, it used to be 50MB but doubled some time ago.
There are lots of places with free WiFi. You can also tether off another phone or device if you don't want to go anywhere.
Share your Internet connection with Personal Hotspot - Apple Support
Short of those options, you should make your case with Apple and perhaps they'll take it into account with a future update.
The workaround is quite simple:
After sync completes the app will be there.
OK, I now know that it's an iOS limit, so you can't change the fact. A way around it is to download the app to iTunes on a computer and then sync it to your iOS device. Or, you can set up a personal hotspot and tether with another device.
Cannot update facebook because of this issue.
Tried restart after but it doesn't work.
Iphone SE here.
Android still the best compare to Ios.
Its been 3 days I dis not use my fb and it *****. I had an unlimited plan.
Yup it's an havvy data used and it's proper to use your app that's whay it need wifi after 100 Mv but u don't worry about it h have to download it given by hospot wich has another device internet connection. If it's start then u have to switch to your cellular data
The bypass for this is easy. If your carrier supports a hotspot feature, activate it. Obviously your phone can't connect to itself (lol) but your hotspot makes the phone think it's getting wifi. So then when done with the app. Just turn it back off.
I'm using an iPhone 5s and don't have a WiFi network that I can connect to. Couldn't get the restart method to work but did this instead: Used phone to create a mobile hotspot. Connected laptop to hotspot and used iTunes on the laptop to download the app from the store. Connected my iPhone to the laptop and used iTunes to sync the app to the phone.
You all aren't reading the responses, this is a limitation Apple has put in place on purpose at the request of the mobile carriers. The limit used to be 50MB but it was raised a couple years ago to 100MB. There are lots of free WiFi hotspots available. If you truly don't have access to WiFi at home, can't tether off another device then I suggest you go to one of these locations. Alternately you could download the update via iTunes and update via your computer. Any other methods are hacks, and with any hack, your mileage will vary considerably.
This is really unecessary for iphones. I mean if it was just a notification was alright, but banning phones from updating or downloading bigger apps then is a turndown. Why we have to go to public places for wifi that is worst than our data? And be real, nobody is going to stay 2h at a coffee shop just to download an app. Then dont make the excuse: why you can afforn an iphone but you cant afforn data because I have an answer for that too. Some people move alot or travel alot, so they dont want to, or just cant make a contract if they dont stay in one place.
To do this
- Set date&time to manaual
- Set date to future about 3 month
- Try to download again
Both work with download app and OTA software update
FYI
- for iOS 10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95u0OzH6_L4
- for iOS 11 ดาวน์โหลดแอปจาก App Store ใหญ่กว่า 150MB ผ่าน 3G/4G ไม่ใช้ Wi-Fi บน iOS 11 (4K) - YouTube
- OTA Update over 4G https://www.iphonemod.net/how-to-update-ios-over-cellular.html (Please google translate)
Hope can help
But doing that makes no sense whatsoever. Since you’re already connected to Wi-Fi why not finish the download on the Wi-Fi to which you connected? The people who were asking about this limit have no Wi-Fi access.
what ******** is this, I never had a problem with my iPhone 6s.... now I have the 8 and it’s not allowing me tk downlaod apps unless I have WiFi??? why????????????? I’m not satisfied with this phone at all
