Everyone already hates this new iPhone feature

Switching off Wi-fi Assist will not compromise the quality of internet connection the user will be able to use in his device.

Wi-Fi Assist has been my number one trending topic on Facebook all day and we’re already hearing plenty of horror stories about iPhone users whose mobile data usage has skyrocketed since the upgrade.

Apple’s latest mobile operating system, iOS 9, brings about plenty of features that facilitate better user experience. Those who don’t have big data plans may not notice when their phones have switched from using Wi-Fi.

The feature, called WI-Fi Assist is one that turns on by default, automatically turning on cell data when WI-Fi connectivity is poor.

Apple’s Wi-Fi assist is a new feature that’s included on iOS 9.

That’s it! Now feel free to download to your hearts content on slow Wi-Fi without the fear of your mobile data kicking in.

While Apple iPhones continue to sell like hotcakes, there’s a new concern for users of the world’s most popular mobile device.

If you have recently updated the software on your iPhone, there is a small but worrying chance you’ll have some nasty surprises next phone bill. Is there a way to include a default feature like Wi-Fi Assist and still make everyone happy, then?

An iOS update earlier this month comes with a potentially problematic new feature. Though the option will boost your phone speed, it will also most certainly tax your data plan. The kind of news stories which reach your inbox are either subscribed to by users, or are selected through the application’s own artificial intelligence (AI).

Just touch the white button, the background will turn white, and the feature will be turned off. You can flip it back on when you find yourself in a low-reception area and need to use the internet.
