preface

According to new regulations issued by relevant authorities on the mainland, apps cannot be granted the functions of connecting to the Internet and obtaining location information without the user’s permission. In iOS 10, Apple added an authorization popup prompt about application usage data. When opening an application for the first time in iOS 10, users will be asked to choose whether to grant Internet access to the application.

However, the introduction of the new permissions system also introduced a new iOS 10 bug.

If you install a new app in iOS 10 or open an app for the first time and find that the app is unable to access the network and refresh data, and you can’t find the app’s Internet access Settings in the cellular network Settings, congratulations, you’ve been caught.

What is known is that access to app usage data is completely controlled by iOS 10, and developers cannot check this setting or develop features that proactively request access to the Internet. You may need to manually resolve the connection issues with your app before Apple releases an update to address this bug.

The solution

Since this Bug is system level, there is no convenient solution.

Two possible solutions are summarized below:

Plan 1: Restart the phone and then open the application with connection problems

If you have multiple applications with network access problems, you may need to restart the device several times and then open the related applications in sequence, because it seems that only one application can be corrected after each reboot. This issue needs to be further verified.

Solution 2: Change the cellular network access Settings in iOS 10

In addition to restart the equipment, you can also try the “Settings” – “general” – “cellular mobile network” – “use the application of wireless local area network (LAN) and cellular mobile” option change any applications connected to the Internet access Settings after restore original Settings, open issues related to application again after finish operation, also can solve the problem.

Plan 3: Temporarily start wlan assistant

This problem can also be solved by opening the Wlan Assistant option in Settings > Cellular Networks, and then opening the Related Questions application.

After fixing the problem, turn off the WLAN Assistant option.

Question why

Since the problem is caused by iOS 10 incorrectly configuring network permissions, triggering a change in the system’s Settings may reactivate the application’s network permission pop-up.

If you see the popup below, congratulations, you can continue to use nuggets happily
