If an app is taken off from memory by force quitting
This thread is about a specific issue - if you go to Settings/General/Restrictions and enable a restriction to prevent changes to the settings in Settings/Cellular the restriction is not honored. Your issue is unrelated to this problem, and it is a disservice to the users who have a problem with being unable to set a restriction on changing settings to hijack their thread. I suggest posting your own new message if you want to discuss an unrelated issue.

I haven't heard anything either way about 9.3, and I am not part of the beta. Apple also doesn't like discussing beta releases in the forum, and will sometimes delete messages that refer to it. So the best place to ask is probably in a non-Apple forum such as Macrumors. If I do get any additional information I will post it here, however.
I can reproduce the problem, and I have been unable to find a workaround or solution in 9.1 or 9.2.

Jan 14, 2016 6:50 AM in response to Lawrence Finchby jfaughnan,Thanks Lawrence. I might ask in other venues, but of course it's a bit academic. Nothing to do about this bug but wait and see. It's not the worst in 9.2.

I wonder. Similar to cellular setting - what makes you think "background app refresh" which disables wifi access to an app on the phone running iOS is OK not be honored?
So far I have never seen a credible reply on that. Hence the question.

Jan 14, 2016 3:42 PM in response to Kilgore-Troutby vin12,In a public forum you'd find
a) intelligent people - who is willing to help others
b) stupid people
and there is a third category that throws an 'attitude' when they see a question or discussion that they do not like to read.
Needless to say, they are called trolls.

Jan 19, 2016 12:10 PM in response to jfaughnanby jfaughnan,9.2 CellularDataUseSettingsRestrictionsDoNotRestrict bug is not fixed in 9.2.1.
There could be something messy about fixing this bug.
Hope it's fixed in 9.3.

Mar 8, 2016 6:39 AM in response to jfaughnanby MooMooWitney,Actually, there's no point in filing bugs. According to a phone call I've just had with Apple Support this feature is no longer in use.
I said that it was very odd that the option was still there - surely, if they wanted to disable it, they would have removed it from the list right?I asked if there was any sort of official notes about this and the lady said no... Sounds like BS to me
Btw, the lady explained that Androids also had this feature until people started suing Google for running into extra data bills despite all restrictions. Also, she explained that it was because of fear of similar legal actions that they've suddenly removed the mobile (or "cellular" if you're American) data restrictions. Again, sounds like BS.

Mar 8, 2016 7:02 AM in response to MooMooWitneyby jfaughnan,Sounds like madness, but at this point it is pretty clear Apple isn't going to fix the broken restrictions control on cellular data use in iOS 9. Maybe they'll put together a different framework for iOS 10. Their current framework is pretty bad, broken restrictions aside, you can't disable cellular data use for an app until the app requests cellular data.
I haven't heard that Apple was going to remove all control of cellular data use. I could see them doing that by pushing the restriction control in the app settings, maybe reporting use per app, then leaving it up to customer to not use apps that use data -- but the customer pushback would be severe.
