No 2G,3G,4G toggle after IOS 8.1 Update

I got very excited when looking at the list of items included in IOS 8.1 update this evening. One of the things on the list has been greatly missed, the toggle to switch off 3G and run on 2G only. After the update..... options are exactly the same. Cellular Data on or off, Enable 4G on or off. I should say I am on EE 3G in the UK.

Does anyone else have a different result after the update????

I don't know if the forum will get a response from Apple or not, you would have hoped so though... I think there should be a button similar to the this helped me one to mark an issue as solved though, obviously on the post containing the solution, that way it highlights the post in green as a solution for others to find easily.


A suggestion from my tech was that we all go to http://www.apple.com/feedback and leave the relevant feedback under iPhone, emhancement request to ensure engineering get the hint it's something we all want.

I have the same experience as well. I've got a friend with a different iPhone model. We both have 8.1, however his settings provide the ability to choose between several networks types, my 5s only allows me to turn on and off 4G. In addition, although my phone shows availability of a cellular data network, even with 5 dots, it is so slow as to be unusable. This is with Telia in Sweden.

I don't understand:

What's surprising is that people who are on the 5 have the ability to choose 2g/3g/lte on ios 8.1. Atleast half a dozen people having a 5 I know have this option. No luck with the 5s or 6. Just to be doubly sure, I checked and ensured out that all of them were on the same network.

So, iPhone 4s/5 has switch but other models not.
