iOS 10 Uses Data to Boost Wi-Fi – How to Turn it Off [VIDEO]
Thanks to Apple's recent operating system update, iOS 10, not only can you send flashy texts through iMessage, but your phone will continue to use data despite being connected to a Wi-Fi signal in certain situations. Here's how to make it stop.
The idea behind the feature is to help boost a weak Wi-Fi signal which could be handy in certain situations. However, my guess is those situations are few and far between.
If you're like me, and enjoy the luxury of an unlimited data plan, this likely isn't an issue for you. However, if you don't, as I suspect is the case with most people, turning this new feature off could save you from nasty overage charges.
