How to Turn Off Cellular Data on an iPhone 7

April 23, 2019 By Matt Jacobs

Do you have a limited amount of monthly data on your iPhone’s cellular plan, and you’ve already reached it, or are very close? Cellular plan overage charges can be quite high, and if you are facing the prospect of being charged with them, then you might be looking for a way to avoid doing so.

One way to accomplish this is to turn off all of the cellular data on your iPhone. This means that none of the apps or services on your iPhone will be able to connect to the Internet when you are on a cellular connection. Our guide below will show you where to find and turn off all cellular data on your iPhone 7.

How to Disable Cellular Data Usage on an iPhone 7

The steps in this article were performed on an iPhone 7 Plus, in iOS 12.2. Note that by completing these steps you won’t be able to use your iPhone to perform any tasks that require data while you are on a cellular network. This includes things like downloading Mail, browsing the Web in Safari, or checking social media. You will still be able to do these things on the iPhone if you are connected to Wi-Fi, though.

Step 1: Open the Settings app.

Looking to control your cellular data usage without going to the extreme of turning it off completely? One option to consider is disabling the iPhone from downloading app updates over cellular. This can save a lot of data, as some app updates can be quite large.
