Just chatted with tech support. He says that the problem is now well reported, that it's a known issue they are working on and that there should be a fix soon. No timetable given. Also, as noted in this thread, advised that a restore can help alleviate the problem if you can manage losing the data accumulated since last backup.


I'll be waiting for the fix. The apps I had on cellular data are the most crucial and can't afford to lose data.

I have this exact problem with a few apps, not all apps on my iPhone 6 with iOS 9. It's weird and I don't see why it would just automatically toggle back when I leave Settings. I am trying to figure out the possible scenarios that would have caused them to toggle back to original states but I couldn't. I tried restarting and it didn't work. I tried several ways to turn cell on for Facebook and it kept turning off every time i exit Settings.


Definitely poor programming on that one. It should never revert back to original state if it showed a toggle feedback. It's like flipping a light switch and it turns off itself when you get in the room.

Hi everyone, I had the problem and you can fix it by downgrading to ios8 (do a local backup first!), I followed the instructions here: http://www.phonearena.com/news/How-to-downgrade-your-iPhone-or-iPad-from-iOS-9-t o-iOS-8.4.1_id73875 (please note: step 4 may be wrong, I entered DFU with the instructions in https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/DFU_Mode but the rest is ok). I hope it helps! None of the other tips worked, and I guess we'll have to wait until Apple releases a real fix to ios9 to update!
