Hello Leroybiggs,


It sounds like you are having trouble using some app when not connected to Wi-Fi.


Here are resource that might help.


  • Check out View or change cellular settings on iPhone.
    • Ensure that your cellular data is turned on in Settings > Cellular.
    • Ensure that the apps in question are turned on to use cellular data in Settings > Cellular > [App Name].
    • If this happens when you are using Low Power Mode, turn off Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Low Power Mode.
  • Install any carrier settings updates as this relates to your cellular service: Update your carrier settings on your iPhone or iPad.
  • Restart your iPhone.
  • If you have any third-party security software or VPN, disable it to isolate as it could affect the way your network works.


Hope this information helps.


Have a good day.
