Apps not working on mobile data on iPhone? Here is the fix

1. Check connectivity

The very first step is to verify the connectivity of your mobile data. Try opening a web page in your browser or checking the speed through fast.com or speedtest.net. If mobile data is not working, check if you have an active internet package on your SIM card. Also check if you have exhausted the data limit.

2. Restart your iPhone

If the apps can't connect to the internet on your iPhone, I suggest you restart it once for a fresh start. This will eliminate any bugs or temporary issues.

To restart your iPhone, press and hold the Power key and then slide it to turn it off. Wait a few seconds. Then press and hold the Power key to restart it. If the problem persists, follow the other steps below.

3. Allow the use of mobile data for the application

Like Android, iOS lets you control mobile data usage for each app. So check if the app you are trying to use has access to mobile data on your iPhone. Do this:

1. Open Settings on your iPhone.
2. Now click on Mobile data.
3. Scroll down to the app, which doesn't work on mobile data.
4. Check if it is allowed to use mobile data. Otherwise, activate the toggle.
