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

Update:

iOS 9.0.1 is out as of today Sept 23, 2015 and many of us were hoping that it would include a fix for the per-app cellular data toggle switch bug we are all experiencing.


Obviously it hasn't. I spoke with an Apple advisor today who confirmed my guess that this update 9.0.1 was too far in development to go back and change it to fix the per-app cellular data toggle switch bug.


So we'll have to wait for iOS 9.0.2. I wasn't given an ETA for when that might be, but the rep thought probably "this month". So that means about 7 days - but it could be longer.


We'll have to keep waiting. But it seems Apple's aware of the issue and working on a fix.

What worked for me is to erase the phone and restore the phone using a previous backup anytime before 9.0. When you restore it, the phone will still have the latest update (you don't have to downgrade) but the cellular part will be working and on----- if (I believe) you had them turned on in that backup.


What happened was before the update I was traveling and turned most of the app's cellular data off. Then, I updated the phone when I had hotel wifi and those settings for app cellular got 'stuck'. So, whenever I turned it on and once I exit the menu, it will automatically turn off again. very annoying.

Nothing I tried helps. Only way is to go back to a previous backup that possibly had all of them turned on-- which fortunately, my previous backup did. I think if you have some apps turned off, you would be experiencing similar difficulties.
