The latest data from App Annie shows that Android has pushed further ahead in the number of apps downloaded worldwide, but iOS has increased its lead in app revenue.

To turn off this feature on your iPhone, navigate to Settings Cellular and scroll all the way down to Wi-Fi Assist. As its name implies, this is a feature where if the phone detects that your WiFi is too slow or if there is poor reception, it will then automatically switch to cellular data.
It also only works with apps running in the foreground, basically meaning the app you are using right now.
Wi-Fi Assist doesn’t activate with a few third-party apps that stream audio or video, or download attachments, like an email app, as they might use large amounts of data.
This means that you will open YouTube for example and will start watching videos, or if you have your own channel, start uploading a new video.
As Six Colors noticed, Apple has created a support page to lay out exactly how Wi-Fi Assist works and when it doesn’t. You can use Wi-Fi Assist with most apps like Safari, Apple Music, Mail, Maps, and more…
Whatever you do, never ever start updating applications after Wi-Fi Assist switches you to cellular data even if the App Store keeps winking at you from the dock saying that you have apps waiting to be updated.
It’s a handy feature that’s meant to cut down on buffering times when using apps and browsing the web.

What makes Universal App Campaigns different from Google’s other advertising product is that focuses on making the process as easy as possible (though you give up a bit of control in return).
