Apple introduced the ‘Low Data Mode’ with iOS 13, it helped users in more than one way. First and foremost being the less usage of data over cellular and WiFi, which helped users to save their precious data when they were on a metered connection.
When enabled, it prevents automatic updates and restricts the ‘Background app refresh’ for most of the apps, and the network switches to a slower spectrum. Which in turn, helped users to also save battery along with data.
However, in present times, when the data is getting cheaper every day and unlimited data plans are floating all around, you might want to turn off the mode on your iPhone.
Why Turn Off Low Data Mode?
You might ask, what would be the harm of leaving it permanently on if it saves you expensive data. Well, first of all, iPhones are not designed to work on fewer data. Also, many of the installed applications might not behave as intended. Thus, leaving the option always enabled can seriously hamper your iOS user experience.

Next, tap on the ‘Mobile Data’ option from the settings menu.

After that tap on the ‘Mobile Data Options’ situated right below the ‘Mobile Data’ option.
