If you’re like most iPhone users, you probably use your phone for a variety of tasks, including making calls, sending texts, checking email, and browsing the web. But what about when you want to use your phone for something specific? Maybe you want to watch a movie or listen to music offline. There are a few different ways to do this. You can download an app that lets you do these things offline, or you can change your cellular data settings on your iPhone. Let’s take a look at how to do each one. How to Download an App That Lets You Use Your iPhone Offline One way to use your iPhone offline is by downloading an app. There are a lot of these apps available on the App Store, and they all have different features. Some let you watch movies and TV shows offline, while others let you read books or listen to music without having to connect to the internet. To find an app that will work for what you want to do, search for it on the App Store. Once you find it, click on the icon and then click on the “Download” button next to it. This will take you to the app’s page in the App Store where you can install it onto your device. How To Change Your Cellular Data Settings On Your iPhone If downloading an app isn’t what you want to do, or if downloading an app isn’t possible because of restrictions set by your carrier or network provider, then changing your cellular data settings on your iPhone may be what you need. Changing these settings will allow you access to more content without having internet access – perfect if what you want is something that’s not available online. Here’s how: ..
First, we’ll assume you’ve already navigated to Settings > Cellular on your iPhone. If not, open the Settings app and tap “Cellular” in the list.
Below a bank of options near the top of the “Cellular” settings page, you’ll see a section titled “Cellular Data.” At the top of that, you’ll see “Current Period” with a cumulative data count beside it. This is how much cellular data you’ve used in total during the current period.
If you’ve never checked this statistic in Settings before, this number can look frighteningly large. So the big question remains: How long is this current period, and when did it start?
It turns out that, on some cellular carriers, this “Current Period” is tied to your actual cell phone billing cycle. On other carriers, the “Current Period” is an arbitrary length of time since you last reset your cellular statistics.
If you have hundreds of apps installed on your iPhone, you might never notice that you can scroll all the way to the bottom of the app list and see the date when the “current period” statistics were last reset.
To reset the statistics for the current period, tap “Reset Statistics.”
With a tap of “Reset Statistics,” a new “Current Period” has just begun. Check back in Settings > Cellular over time to see your statistics and which apps are using the most data. Good luck!
