iOS 9.0.2: General restriction Cellular Data Use doesn't work

it's a bug. not resolved in 9.0.2. it's doing it on my 6s. maybe those people who got it to work was setting up their phone as new instead of from backup.

i don't want to restore and use as new, since i have apple watch data which will be lost if i do setup as new.

Raynman352,

I have the exact same problem on my son's iphone 5.... I check the "Don't allow changes" for cellular data under the Restrictions settings but it produces no effect. Nothing gets greyed out all apps are still allowed to toggle on or off cellular data. Like you said, all the other posts I can find about data usage are dealing with toggling on-off access....not the Restrictions issue. Hope this Restrictions issue is on the Apple's to-do list and the get's this fixed.

iPhone 6+ running iOS 9.0.2 - Exact same problem.

Everyone,

Please report the issue here so that it may catch Apple's attention:

I found a solution that worked for my phone here:

Look for brenden dv's post - on Oct. 20, 2015 3:49 pm. for the complete question and answer.

The solution:

If it isn't already, set your "Cellular Data Use" restriction to "Don't Allow Changes". Go to the "Cellular" settings (on the main settings page), scroll down, and set the permissions for each individual app (turn them on or off). Scroll back up to the top in that same setting, and turn off the "Cellular Data" toggle button, then turn it back on. ".....the Restriction will then take effect, and the individual app Cellular data toggles will grey out....." (scroll back down to the apps settings to verify). Hope this helps some of you!

Just tried this workaround of switching cellular data off and back on again. When I switched it back on, the screen hung for a little while, which was disconcerting, but when it did come back, all of the settings for individual apps were greyed out. Thanks!

Wait! No sorry. This is not a permanent solution. As soon as you exit out of and kill Settings, you can restart Settings and cellular data for individual apps is once again changeable by the user, even though the restriction is set so it should not be changeable.

Ugh. When's Apple going to fix this?
