How to download more than 100mb data via cellular

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.

Use wifi

The limit should now be 150 meg, if the app is larger than that use wifi

Connect to a wifi and just start the download

Then turn off wifi and download using mobile data

It works for me

In iOS 11.2.5 after you click ok inspite of the warning it downloads. But i’m not sure about downloads above 500mb. I’ll update once I try it.

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

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.

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

Mission Accomplished

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.
