What to know
- From the ‘Control Center’, long press on the cellular data option to choose between two data lines.
- You can also set up a shortcut to switch between cellular data lines on iOS 18.
iOS 18 has several new features and shortcuts that have flown under the radar for the most part. One such feature is the ability to switch cellular data line on your iPhone.
You can now open the Control Center and long press on the ‘cellular data’ option to switch between the two networks.
Apart from this, you could also have the Action button set up to switch between cellular data. Use the link here for the shortcut that toggles between data lines. The shortcut will check which line is active and automatically switch to the other one.
Given how useful the Action button can be, it may not be ideal to use it to switch between cellular data lines. Still, if you have to change active data several times a day, it may be quite handy to do so.
It’s good to see iPhone users finally getting some features that simplify their daily use. We hope further updates bring more such user-oriented features.
