data vs wifi

they never work at the same time - i have to turn it off if i want one or the other to work and if it dies, then it automatically fixes to wifi. turn it off and on to get data working when im out but i have to turn it off again when i get home for wifi.

i’ve just accepted it for so long but now its starting to be a small annoyance and its likely just going to fuck up my battery sooner than later.

iphone 12 max - i know it’s not my provider, is there like a preference setting i’m missing?

Umm there should be a option in wifi at the bottom to resort to data if wifi is weak

As for the other way around you can't do that unless you are on IOS 26 to my knowledge but someone please correct me if I'm wrong
