4 Wi-Fi Assist
Wi-Fi Assist is a handy feature included in iOS 9 and later that takes away some of the frustrations from shoddy Wi-Fi networks. It’s switched on by default, but you can toggle it off or back on by following these steps:
- Go to Settings.
- Tap on Cellular.
- Scroll down to the bottom, locate Wi-Fi Assist.
- Tap on the slider to enable or disable it.
When Wi-Fi Assist is toggled on, it’ll basically switch your iOS device to cellular service when you have a poor Wi-Fi connection. It’ll switch on when it detects a poor connection and works across most iOS apps. Of course, this uses up your cellular data, so keep that in mind when streaming or accessing data-heavy content. If you have a small data plan, it might be worth it to switch the feature off.
