You know sometimes
Apple has good ideas and sometimes they have ideas that are really bad. This is
one of those. Someone at Apple thought it would be a good idea to add a setting
to your phone, so that if your WiFi reception is not very good, the
phone should flip to using cellular data.
That might be a
reasonable answer, if everyone had unlimited cellular data but just about no
one does. The problem is there's a setting in IOS 9 called WiFi assist,
that's on by default.
You must go turn the
setting off. There's no reason I can think of that anyone would want to have
this setting on. To find it go to the settings on your iPhone, look for Cellular Settings
and scroll to the very bottom. There you'll find the WiFi assist setting
and ensure that it's off. Once you do that, you won't flip over to using
cellular data when your WiFi connection isn't as strong as it might be.
Yes you won't get the
best connection. But you also won't be eating up your data plan’s
"Data" so that you end up with large bills. People have ended up with
huge Cellular bills because of this. Don't let it get you.
