IOS 9 Cellular Data Usage Restrictions not working

Hello, I just updated several devices to IOS 9 and I noticed the Cellular Data Usage Restrictions are turned on. However, when I check the Cellular settings I am able to make changes under User Cellular Data for section. This is the same behavior with all upgraded devices I have. Is this a known issue?


Thanks for your help with cap data plan having this feature working is critical for my family plan and devices.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9

Hi,

Yes. The cellular data toggle is working after iOS 9.0.2 update.

But I have noticed another issue.

After 9.0.2 update or as matter of fact after iOS 9 update - any new app which I install, or delete an app and reinstall, it does not appear in Settings->Cellular data list. So these apps will always be toggled ON for cellular data and if I want to toggle it OFF, then I do not have the option.


Is anybody else facing this problem?

I have restrictions for cellular data set to "don't allow changes" but I can still change individual apps on or off in cellular data. The only way they are "greyed out" is if I turn off cellular data then they are obviously "greyed out" because cellular data is off, now if I turn cellular data back on they still stay "greyed out" but when I close settings and reopen cellular data the individual apps can once again be turned on or off although it still says "don't allow changes" under restrictions for cellular data.

I Have the same issue even after the 9.0.2 update. I wonder if everyone else who thinks that the issue is resolved, is referring to the same problem.

Being bel to switch off the "find my phone" option under the "cellular data settings" , when the "don't allow changes" feature is set, is a security breach!

It makes for switching your phone easily set to "not trackable" in the event of it being lost or misplaced.
