Change APN settings on iPhone and iPad
The APN data on your iDevice are, so to speak, the login to the Internet at your mobile service provider. If the settings are incorrect, you will not be able to access the network. Therefore, you should change the data directly in the event of errors:
- To do this, first open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Now tap "Mobile Network" on the iPad and "Mobile Data" on the iPhone.
- There you choose the sub-item "Mobile data network".
- Enter the relevant APN data of your provider here and close the Settings app.
- Tip: In the event of Internet problems, it can help to reset the APN settings. To do this, tap on the "Reset settings" entry in the "Mobile data network" menu and re-enter your data.
