Apps Not Working on Mobile Data on iPhone? Here’s the Fix

1. Check the Connectivity

The very first step is to check your mobile data connectivity. 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 whether you have an active internet pack on your SIM card. Also, see if you have exhausted the data limit.

2. Reboot your iPhone

If the apps cannot connect to the internet on your iPhone, I’ll suggest rebooting it once for a fresh start. This will clear out any temporary bugs or glitches.

To reboot your iPhone, press and hold the Power key, then slide to power off. Wait for a few seconds. Then, press and hold the Power key to boot it up again. If the problem persists, proceed with the other steps given below.

Like Android, iOS lets you control mobile data usage for each app. So, check whether the app you’re trying to use has access to mobile data on your iPhone. To do so:

1. Open Settings on your iPhone.
2. Now, click on Mobile Data.
3. Scroll down to the app, which is not working on mobile data.
4. Check if it’s allowed to use mobile data. If not, enable the toggle.
