Hi Alan, You would need to monitor this of course, but I think that you would probably be ok leaving the wifi assist feature on given that it only utilizes cellular data when it sees that the wifi connection is weak. On 9/30/15, Alan Paganelli wrote: > I was

I was somewhat concerned about WI-FI assist. My wife and I share a bucket of 15 gigs between her iPhone 4, my iPhone 5s, and both our iPad Airs. Fifteen gigs between us seems to me to be plenty. Do I need to be concerned if I leave WI-FI assist turned on or am I probably ok? Alan Sent

Hi. I definitely like having Wi-fi Assist available, especially at work, where Wi-fi access in my computer lab is really iffy. I took a look at Cellular under Settings and was reminded that we can see our cellular data usage statistics over a period of time and pinpoint those apps that seem to

Hi, I've definitely been in situations where the Wi-Fi turned out to be inadequate. I would have liked my phone to use data in those situations, so I'm glad this feature is an option. Our plan has a lot more data than we actually use, though, so it won't matter if I end up using more data than

With my new data plan, I have so much data that I don't care if Wi-Fi assist is on. In fact, I like the idea. I think we have the best of both worlds here with the ability to turn it off if we don't wanted. They certainly didn't hide the fact that the feature exist. It's been all over in the

I read this story using one of my local television station's app on my iPhone, and thought everybody should know about this. I will post the link to the story at the end. IOS 9 contains something called WiFi assist, which is meant to boost a weak WiFi signal by supplementing it with your lte
