How to tell if your iPhone is 3G or 4G

Simple question, I cannot see if my network signal is 3G/4G (or worse). How do I see this? It was on the home screen of the old iP

Thank you. I can now see that but the symbol disappears when WiFi is on. For example if I’m at home I still want to see if I’m on 3G or 4g to assess my phone call quality.


Turn off WiFi in Settings>Wi-Fi.


Also - I'm not sure that it's going to say 3G. Even with a 4s I remember it always said 4G because Apple contended that it could access 3G networks at "4G speeds". All I ever see on my iPhone 7 is 4G, LTE, or E (enhanced GSM, which isn't that fast).
