Missing Shortcut to Toggle Cellular Data

Lol many thanks, can't see it happening though, probably get just another filter. Over the space of a year that extra click I could be using for othed things like telling people how wonderful (sad) my life is on social media.

You are not talking to Apple here. We are simply users just like you trying to help each other out with questions. Just because you provide feedback doesn't require Apple to incorporate it into iOS. If they decide to add it they will do so at their discretion.

you can give them the feedback here

No, really, it's not. It's a convenience. The phone works just fine without it.

Wait, a requirement for a shortcut? Let's see...

Settings/Cellular/Cellular Data (3 taps)

vs.

Control Center (swipe-up) and one tap (assuming this is your shortcut)

My hand hurts just thinking about this dilemna. 😐

"Shortcut to toggle cellular data" - I assume you mean a switch in Control Panel as it does appear in Settings. This can hardly be considered a "requirement" as switching in Settings only adds 2-3 seconds to accomplish what you want.

And, of course, I'd guess most people never turn their cellular data off.

Not in the USA, where most users have cheap gigabytes of data allotment. However, there are countries where cellular data is very restricted or expensive.

Notwithstanding the tone/exaggeration of the original post, there's one for bluetooth, one for wi-fi, why not cell data? Matter of opinion, but given the other shortcuts, and if you use it often enough, two vs. three clicks is an appreciable difference.

Submit your feedback to Apple requesting such a feature here:

Thanks, I did just that, and I appreciate the link from both you and the earlier responder. (The generalizations about how many people do/don't use a feature and esp. sarcasm re the requested shortcut I find unfriendly and unhelpful, but that's my personal response, and I understand where you may be coming from. The point about this being a discussion board, not a help line, is as usual well taken.)

Actually, this isn't a "discussion board", it's a user-to-user tech support forum. Feature requests and discussion of Apple policies aren't allowed under the Terms of Use. The forum hosts weren't aware of your post or it would have been deleted.

Perhaps if you didn't characterize your request as a "requirement", it would't have received the responses it did. The other shortcuts in the Control Panels are also conveniences, not requirements.

Not my original post, but thanks. I still appreciated finding that someone else was/is bothered by not having the specified shortcut, again regardless of tone or technicalities.

I'm not at all "bothered" by the absence of a cellular data icon in Control Panel. Perhaps that's because I don't consider myself (or anyone) entitled to have the iPhone made to my specifications. It takes a whopping 2 seconds to enable/disable cellular data in Settings.
