Sharing buttons:
hey everyone welcome back this is dan
from dhtv and today i'm going to be
showing you how to enable or
disable 5g on your iphone 12
or 12 pro as always the playlist to
all of the great iphone 12 tips and
tricks videos is in the description so
be sure to check it out
let's get started
so now that apple's iphone 12 12 pro 12
pro max and the 12
mini are all 5g compatible you can
actually choose if you want to have 5g
turned on or if you want to turn 5g off
so we're going to start by opening our
settings application
and we're going to tap on the cellular
tab
from cellular you're going to want to
tap on the cellular data options
and from here we have two options that
are going to work with our 5g
compatibility
so we'll tap on the option voice and
data and from here you'll see that it's
set to auto
now 5g is going to be set to auto by
default
when you first set up your new iphone 12
and what auto does it's going to try to
determine
the best times to use 5g unless it's
going to significantly reduce the
battery life and you can see it does
have that little message down there
now if you wanted to bypass this and
always be on whenever possible even when
it's going to burn through the battery
you can set it to on now at this point i
don't think that's a good option
unless you're in a pinch and just need
that speed
and then if you want to turn it off you
have the lte option here which brings
you back
to the traditional lte connectivity now
when i switch over to 5g on you can see
mine is still at lte
i don't have a 5g tower or i'm in range
of a 5g tower where i am right now so
it's not going to pull that up
but as i'm driving around if i do get
close enough to one or it does pick it
up
you'll see 5g and you'll have some other
options there as well
now with that being said to turn off 5g
you would have to set it to
lte meaning that it's always going to
use lte
whenever possible now i did talk about
this in my previous tips video if you
want to set
up a specific button here you can
actually use this button which is the
low power mode
so when you pull down your control
center i've set a low power mode
button here so anytime i want to
disconnect from 5g
i would just turn that on and because
the phone in low power mode actually
disables 5g
it'll be like a disabling 5g button now
if you want to watch that video
the link is in the description it's the
tips and tricks video and within that
video
i kind of go through this as well as
showing you how to set up that button
but this is where you're going to toggle
between 5g on auto and lte
now the other option that we saw here if
we go back is in the data mode section
and right now you can see it's going to
allow
more data on 5g and what that means is
that it's going to provide
higher quality videos and facetime when
connected to 5g
cellular networks and you can see right
there at the top what that means so if
you are someone who just wants quality
quality quality especially in your
facetime videos
you want to allow more data on 5g the
next one is standard and allows
automatic updates and
background tasks on cellular but it's
going to limit the quality with facetime
and video
and the last option is the low data mode
this is just going to
generally help reduce wi-fi and cellular
data usage by pausing automatic updates
and background tasks
so that's a way for you to really limit
the data you're using now i had mine to
allow more data i'm just going to
set it to standard and that's the
setting that i'm going to be using for
5g
but my recommendation is you do modify
these at least before you start using 5g
that way you don't get shocked by how
much data you're using
so make sure you set up the voice and
data options
as well as the data mode here
additionally since we're already in this
video
if you scroll all the way down to the
bottom this wi-fi assist this is
something that's going to affect your
data quite a bit
uh depending on how your wi-fi is at
home if you have this on it's going to
automatically use your cellular data
when your wi-fi connectivity is poor so
if you have
spotty wi-fi at home make sure this
wi-fi assist is off especially
if your phone then switches to 5g this
way you're not going to have those
shocks and you'll make sure
it's not going to use your data to bump
that up and assist
the wi-fi so that's how to enable or
disable
5g on apple's new flagships on the
iphone 12s
