Many of us have data plans on our phones, granting us access to the wonders (and horrors) of the internet both at home and when out and about, as well as dedicated internet packages at home. When using your phone at home, you can find yourself in an intricate dance, straddling the two networks to get the best service. Sometimes that means bouncing back and forth between Wi-Fi and cellular data, especially if one or both connections are spotty. But there’s a setting which takes some of the legwork out of this process and keeps your connection as strong as possible at all times.
According to Apple, Wi-Fi assist pays attention when enabled, and actively switches to cellular data if your Wi-Fi signal drops below certain performance thresholds. What that means, is if you’re trying to load a webpage, listen to music, or watch video content, and the speeds slow due to poor a Wi-Fi connection, your phone will automatically switch to cellular data. If all goes according to plan, you won’t even be aware of the switch. Of course, if you have limited cellular data each month, it’s something you’ll want to keep an eye on.
To enable Wi-Fi Assist, open Settings and go to Cellular, then scroll all the way to the bottom and look for the toggle switch labeled Wi-Fi Assist.
