DeActivated Apps Consuming Data A Lot on IOS 9

DeActivated Apps Consuming Data A Lot on IOS 9 - At the time when new iOS 9 was released a few weeks ago for Iphone User, we finally got access to lot of new feature we have been waiting for. But as people are spending more time getting to know their new iOS, there are a few downsides. One of these features is Wi-Fi Assist.

But before we claimed this Wi-Fi Assist as a bad feature, it’s important to understand what it does. When Wi-Fi Assist is turned on, it will choose a weak Wi-Fi signal by switching to cellular data. For example, let’s say you are trying to load bus schedules while running out of your house; iPhones on the old iOS would connect on to your home’s Wi-Fi, until the signal was too far away to stay connected. However, this would result in very slow load times due to weak signal. In iOS 9, Wi-Fi Assist will says this weak signal and switch your phone to cellular data automatically.

Hmms, sounds useful, but will be a big problem for people who does not have an unlimited data plan. If your house has rooms that are Wi-Fi dead zones, Wi-Fi Assist will cause your phone to use cellular data even though you have access to Wi-Fi. So if you don’t have cellular data to spare, make sure you turn Wi-Fi Assist off. To do so, go to Settings > Cellular and scroll all the way to the bottom.
