That kind of feature should really be disabled by default not enabled

Thanks for this info, but when I went to it, it was already disabled thankfully.

What does the feature actually do?

To boost the speed of searching something or watching something on your wifi, it'll start using your mobile data

If you purchased the latest iPhone or recently updated your old iPhone to iOS 10, there's a default setting you might want to change right away.

In the newest version of Apple's software, there's a new feature called "Wi-Fi Assist." The feature allows your iPhone to start using your mobile data plan when it detects you have a shaky Wi-Fi connection.

It's a great feature if you have unlimited data because it prevents slow loading on your favorite apps and websites, but many tech blogs point out that it could also quickly eat through limited data plans.

If you don't realize your iPhone is making the switch to mobile data when you're connected to Wi-Fi, you could quickly eat through 2 or 3 gigs of data and incur data overage fees. Those fees can cost you hundreds of dollars on a single bill.

So how do you turn off Wi-Fi Assist?

Go to the "settings" app

Open the "cellular" menu

Scroll to the bottom of the screen and disable "Wi-Fi Assist"
