To transition from 4G to 5G on your iOS device, begin by confirming your device’s compatibility. You can do this by referring to the manufacturer’s specifications or visiting the phone manufacturer’s website. Most modern iOS devices can use 5G, but it’s crucial to verify before attempting the switch.
- Go into your phone’s Settings
- Select Cellular
- Select Cellular Data Options
Note: You should see Roaming Off as the existing setting. - Select Voice and Data
- Select 5G Auto
- Once selected, select Back to return to the Cellular Data Options
- Select Data Mode
- Select Allow More Data on 5G
Now you’ll be able to take full advantage of your 5G mobile service!
After enabling 5G, it’s good practice to restart your device. This ensures that the new settings take effect properly. Once your device restarts, you should see a 5G indicator in the status bar when you’re connected to a 5G network. Keep in mind that the appearance of the indicator may vary based on your iOS version and carrier.
Please note that there won’t be an option specifically labeled “Allow more Data” for 5G. Learn more on how to use 5G cellular service.
