In Apple’s release of iOS 9 beta 5 this week, several new features were revealed. The highlights in iOS 9 beta 5 includes Wi-Fi Assist and Wi-Fi calling for AT&T.
Wi-Fi Assist
iPhones generally connect to a Wi-Fi connection whenever one is detected. Sometimes the Wi-Fi connection may stop working or slow down, but the iPhone device usually stays connected to it. Wi-Fi Assist solves that problem by automatically disconnecting your iPhone from the bad connection and switching to cellular data.
Without the Wi-Fi Assist feature, you would have to disable Wi-Fi on the iPhone or move far away from the signal to prevent your device from continuing to use a bad signal. The Wi-Fi Assist feature can be toggled on and off under the “Cellular” menu in the “Settings” app in iOS 9. To indicate when your iPhone switches from Wi-Fi to a cellular data connection, the Wi-Fi icon will turn gray as the device connects to cellular data.
