How To Improve Iphone Signal

CONSTANTLY plagued by bad signal when you're out and about? There's an easy trick that could fix it.

Your iPhone won't always be connected to the best possible network, but pressing one button can resolve this.

Every iPhone has an easy solution to boosting network signal

Inside your smartphone is a modem, which lets it connect to nearby cellular towers.

These towers are how your mobile network (like EE or Vodafone) get your phone online.

But when you're moving around, or in and out of buildings, your phone's modem will connect to different cellular towers to give you the best signal.

However, this method isn't entirely foolproof.

Constantly scanning for new towers to find the best connection uses up a lot of power, so your phone doesn't constantly scan for new networks to jump on.

Instead, it'll check periodically to see if there's a better connection available.

But you can force your iPhone to check for a new signal very easily.

All you need to do is turn on Airplane Mode for a few seconds, and then turn it back off.

Airplane Mode shuts off all outgoing connections, so it's effectively like doing a reset on your phone's modem.

This will force the iPhone to immediately scan for the best possible connection.

It's a particularly handy trick if you're getting a rubbish "E" or "EDGE" signal, rather than the 3G or 4G networks that will give you nippy internet speeds.

It's very useful when you're travelling at speed, too – like on a train or in a car.

You'll potentially move through network towers very quickly during a journey, so resetting your connection can give you a quick signal boost – rather than leaving you clinging on to a distant tower.

How to turn Airplane Mode on for iPhone and iPad

First, you'll need to open the Control Centre.

Simply swipe up from the bottom edge of any screen on an iPhone.

If you're using an iPhone X, you'll need to swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen.

And on an iPad, you can just double-click the Home button.

Next, look for the airplane icon in the top left of your Control Centre.

Tap it, and wait for a few seconds. Then, tap it again to turn it off.

You should see your phone completely lose signal, then regain it again very quickly.

And you should now be connected to the best possible network available.
