Re: Status Of Automatically Use Cellular Data When Wi-fi-Connectivity is Poor?
Yes. You won't be using cellular data or mobile data as you call it if you're connected to Wifi. How far were you away from your house when your credit disappeared? Wifi assist is activated when you're in range of wifi with a weak signal. Turning this feature off should fix that problem.

Re: Status Of Automatically Use Cellular Data When Wi-fi-Connectivity is Poor?
Just clarifying, mobile data is marked as being OFF, so if I turn it ON, it will just sit there doing nothing as long as it has a wi-fi connection, and will only go to work when it does not, which would be when, for instance, I go into Gore or points further afield. I recall having turned on something when I went to Invercargill yonks ago and did not remember to turn it: whatever *it was: off until I found my credit disappearing at an alarming rate. This would have been wi-fi assist, not mobile data: right?

Re: Status Of Automatically Use Cellular Data When Wi-fi-Connectivity is Poor?
You don't have to switch cell data off when you return home. Your iPhone will switch back to wifi automatically and not use cellular data. If you're that worried about Wifi assist, you can switch it off at the bottom of the cellular screen in settings.

Re: Status Of Automatically Use Cellular Data When Wi-fi-Connectivity is Poor?
I have a 5S iPhone, IOS9.3.2 and have, I think, precisely, the opposite problem. I use the iPhone very rarely for anything but playing a time-wasting/filling : game take your pick: so I scarcely ever need mobile data, but there is the very rare occasion when I do take the iPhone more than a hundred metres away from home base. On these rare occasions, I have only been in the car for a few moments, when I am given the message that Siri/voice-over or whatever it is, cannot make a connection. Do I have to remember to switch on mobile data manually or is there a setting whereby I can instruct the iPhone to turn on mobile data when its wifi connection is getting a bit shaky and then, when it came back into range, it should switch it off? I do recall switching on M D yonks ago and then forgetting to switch it off, which I did only when my credit started to evaporate at an alarming speed. If it is something that I have to do manually, how much time/distance am I given or can I switch it on at any time. When the iPhone is in this configuration, does it connect with the nearest cell tower like mobile phones do?

RE: Status Of Automatically Use Cellular Data When Wi-fi-Connectivity is Poor?
Thanks much, Sieghard. I was not looking at: “WiFi Assist”. Yes, “WiFi Assist” is, indeed, off and thanks much for drawing my attention there. Fazil.

Hi Fazil, Are you saying you go to Settings > Cellular and all the way at the bottom where it says “WiFi Assist” and that it doesn’t tell you if it’s on or off? Make sure you are actually on where Voiceover says “WiFi Assist” and not on the line below which says “Automatically use cellular data when WiFi connectivity is poor” because that is just meant to be an explanation of the “WiFi Assist” switch above it. If you have more switches where On or Off is not announced just empty your app switcher and reboot your phone. I think I had this once many years ago and after I did a reboot everything was back to normal.
