If you’re using an iPhone to access 5G services, there are a few things you can do to make sure that you’re not getting the best experience. First, make sure that your phone is updated to the latest version of iOS. This will help ensure that your 5G service is working properly. Second, disable any features that may be causing problems with your 5G service. This can include things like airtime management and location tracking. Finally, be sure to keep your phone charged and unlocked so that you can use it while connected to 5G services.
The new 5G wireless standard holds great promise in speeding up your iPhone’s wireless data transfer rates, but it also can take a heavy toll on your battery, quickly draining battery life while enabled. Here’s how to turn it off when you don’t need it.
First, open Settings on your iPhone.
In Settings, tap “Cellular.”
In “Cellular,” tap “Cellular Data Options.”
In “Cellular Data Options,” tap “Voice & Data.”
In “Voice & Data,” select “LTE” from the list to disable 5G completely.
(Alternately, you can select “5G Auto” from this list, which will let the iPhone automatically deactivate 5G to save battery life when it’s not needed.)
After that, exit Settings. 5G is now disabled on your iPhone. If you ever need to turn it back on, just revisit “Settings” > “Cellular” > “Cellular Data Options” > “Voice & Data” and select “5G On” or “5G Auto.”
