If you’ve recently upgraded your iOS device to iOS 9, you may want to turn off a new feature called WiFi assist. Now the big question is why? This feature was designed to help you in situations where your WiFi connection isn’t the best by automatically switching over to cellular data so that you can do whatever it is that you need to do. Plus you won’t need to manually disable WiFi in that situation. The catch is that if you have a capped mobile phone plan, you’re going to consume more data That may not be desirable for some.

If you want to avoid using this new feature, head over to Settings –> Cellular and scroll all the way to the bottom and look for the WiFi Assist setting:

Turn it off. Declare victory and have a beer.
