If you're experiencing unreasonably slow cellular data service on your iPhone, there are several steps you can take to try and improve the situation. Here are some troubleshooting tips you can follow:
- Ensure that you have a good signal strength in your area. Weak signals can lead to slower data speeds. You can check the signal strength by looking at the bars or dots in the status bar on your iPhone.
- Turning on Airplane Mode for a few seconds and then turning it off can sometimes help refresh your device's connection to the cellular network.
- Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary software glitches. Turn off your iPhone, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on.
- Restart the device. That's it.

- Reset network settings: Resetting network settings can resolve issues related to cellular data. Reset Network Settings: Only network settings are removed.
- When you reset network settings, previously used networks and VPN settings that weren’t installed by a configuration profile or mobile device management (MDM) are removed. Wi-Fi is turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and Ask to Join Networks settings remain turned on.
- To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management, select the configuration profile, then tap Remove Profile. This also removes other settings and accounts provided by the profile. See Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone in this guide.
- To remove network settings installed by MDM, go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management, select the management, then tap Remove Management. This also removes other settings and certificates provided by MDM. See “Mobile device management (MDM)” in the iOS Deployment Reference.
- Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before.
- If the issue persists, you can try resetting all settings on your iPhone. This will not erase your data but will reset all personalized settings to their default values. Go to Settings > General > Transfer & Reset > Reset > Reset All Settings and confirm the action. Note that you will need to reconfigure your settings afterward. All settings—including network settings, the keyboard dictionary, the Home screen layout, location settings, privacy settings, and Apple Pay cards—are removed or reset to their defaults. No data or media are deleted.

- You can return settings to their defaults without erasing your content.
- If you want to save your settings, back up your iPhone before returning them to their defaults. For example, if you’re trying to solve a problem but returning settings to their defaults doesn’t help, you might want to restore your previous settings from a backup.
- Make sure you have the latest updates installed.

- Update using iTunes/Finder —> Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support (IN)
- Sometimes, carriers release updates to improve network performance. Go to Settings > General > About. If an update is available, you'll see a prompt to install it.
- Some apps may be using cellular data in the background, affecting your speeds. Go to Settings > Cellular and scroll down to see the list of apps using cellular data. Disable the ones you don't need.
- If you are experiencing slow internet browsing, clearing Safari's cache might help. Go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.
- Move to a different location to see if the slow data speed is related to your current area or network congestion.
- If none of the above steps improve your data speed, contact your cellular carrier. They can check if there are any known issues in your area or if there are any problems with your account.
- In some cases, a faulty or damaged SIM card can cause slow data speeds. Contact your carrier to obtain a replacement SIM card.
Remember that data speeds can also be affected by network congestion or temporary issues with the cellular tower. If the problem persists, it's essential to get in touch with your carrier's customer support for further assistance.
