iPhone Wi-Fi assist iOS9

iPhone have recently updated their operating system to include a new feature called Wi-Fi Assist.

What this feature does is automatically uses cellular (mobile) data if your Wi-Fi connection is too slow.

The downside of this feature is that it could potentially use up lots of data from your mobile plan without you realise, when you think you are using Wi-Fi.

The features is set to enabled as default so if you are noticing that your data is being used up very quickly, we recommend that you turn this feature off.

In order to turn this feature off, navigate to settings on your iPhone and then select 'mobile'. You'll need to scroll right to the bottom of the screen and underneath a list of your apps you'll notice the setting 'Wi-Fi Assist' with the slider option to turn it on or off.
