Apps disappeared from "Use Cellular Data For" after iOS 8.0.2

Normally, when you go to Settings->Cellular Data, you can see a list of all apps that use data, and you are able to turn cellular data on or off for each app individually.
I had been using this feature since iOS 7 without problem, until I upgraded to iOS 8.0.2.
Now, only "FaceTime" and "Passbook" appear under this list. All other apps, including Mail, Safari, etc. have disappeared.
What's worse, apps for which I had turned cellular data for---such as YouTube---cannot be turned back on, because they have disappeared from this list. Therefore, I am permanently unable to use YouTube without Wifi because of this bug. The same goes for every app for which I had turned off cellular data.
I tried restoring the iPhone (it's an iPhone 5), to no avail.
Does anyone else have this issue, or is it a weird bug with just my phone?

Hi jah_mez69,
No, I did not solve this problem, and it persists in iOS 8.1.2.
Apple have a reluctance to take bugs affecting smaller groups of users seriously. With regard to this bug, their attitude is that we should just erase our phones and set them up from scratch. This is something I refuse to do.
I did open a new bug about this in the bug tracker (bug #18732898). It hasn't been closed yet, which means at the very least, they have not decided to totally ignore this bug forever. However, don't get your hopes up for a fix.
I have learned to live with it, but it has pushed me closer to choosing Android for my next phone. I am fairly confident that iOS software bugs are far less important to Apple than developing smart watches and payment systems and getting the next "hot" feature out the door.

  • Can I use cellular data for updating ios 7.0.2 to 7.0.4 in iPhone 5

    Can I use cellular data for updating ios 7.0.2 to 7.0.4 in iPhone 5.  I just want to know coz i only have 3G cellular data ....

    No.

  • I cannot find all my installed apps on the "use cellular data for" tab on the settings menu.

    I have a new iphone 5s and on the first day I've received it, I updated to IOS 8.0.2.
    Today, I've decided to turn my cellular data on and, in order to consume less data, I thought I would disable some of the apps. However, only a few were available/visible on the "use cellular data for" tab. However, when, with the cellular data turned on, I opened a missing app on the phone, it would start to appear on the list (where it wasn't previously). Also, when I go to the app on the settings menu, it would not have shown the option, "use cellular data" before I've opened the app and now it does. Do I need to turn on every single app before I can select my cellular data preferences? I know people with the same phone and their apps appear all, as expected.
    I don't know if this is a problem of my own carrier but I don't think so, because the people I mentioned earlier have the same carrier.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, did you try to switch off Cellular Data, restart the phone and switch it back on again?

  • Apps missing from use cellular data list in iphone 6

    So I got the new iPhone 6...and half of my apps are missing from the "use cellular data" list...those that are missing won't load when I try to open them...they just flash and shut down.  I've tried turning off wifi...I've tried resetting the phone...nothing works.  What's the point of the phone if you can't use the freaking apps when you aren't connected to wifi??  Anyone else having this problem?? Anyone know how to fix it??

    ... although I found what appears to be an error in the article:

    Thanks - but no luck there either. I believe they're referring to "Notification Center".

  • HT201299 Not enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS apps and features from setting? I keep it off but when I go to other app it on automatic

    SOLUTION! (NO NEED TO RESET YOUR IPHONE SETTING!)
    I have the same issue for the last two weeks. But i have already managed to solve the issue all by myself. When i go to Settings > Cellular > below the tab "use cellular data for:", i turned off some apps which i didnt want to use with cellular data. As soon as i go back to Settings, and then i went back to Cellular, the apps which i had switched off earlier, automatically turned back on.
    Here's the solution:
    Either you're using wifi or cellular data, first of all you're gonna hafto turn on the cellular data use for App Store. Once you have turned it on, go to App Store application. Update ALL the apps which have new updates available. If it asks you to log in your App Store, just do so. If there's something wrong with your debit or credit card information, it will ask you to update to a different card. Just do what it asks. Put in a new credit or debit card info and fill in the forms provided. The card you're using must be usable and has usable balance in it. Let's say atleast $10 to $20. As soon as it confirms your card successfully, the app updates will start automatically. Continue to update all the apps. After all updates are finished, go back to Settings > Cellular. Try to switch on or off some apps for data use and recheck.
    Try it yourself! Have a nice day and don't put a blame on Apple for this.
    From Malaysia, with love.

  • "use cellular data for" apps keep turning back on

    ie. go in, slide bar from green to off for facetime, youtube, etc...go out of Cellular, back in, and those apps show green for "use cellular data for". 
    At first I thought it was an issue with some versions of Angry Birds, as they don't all do this.  Then realized facetime, youtube, facebook, etc.. all do this.
    Works fine on two other iphones.   Running latest ios on 4S
    The fact it doesn't do it for all apps is what I find is strange.  Thought at first it was an issue with Rovio apps, but then realized even facetime does this.
    Thanks

    I'd like to know why there is not solution to this.  I think I'll just remove all those apps that are turning their 'use cellular' data back on.  I only cared because when my kid plays angry birds, my cellular data was being used for videos.  Oh well, I guess I'll have to remove apps or get a new data plan.

  • HT1688 iPhone 5S, Settings Cellular Use Cellular Data For Apps - Not Updating

    I have iPhone 5S iOS 7.0.4 with AT&T Contractual Plan.
    When I change any settings in Settings > Cellular > Use Cellular Data For to disable or enable apps to use cellular data. And, if I exit and enter again it shows the old settings.
    Also Call Time > Current Period is not updating.
    This is happening for last one week. I have also noticed heavy cellular data usage for last one week.
    I have reset the phone as a new phone this it is solved, but if I restore from my backup, then the problem is returning again. Even I have deleted some apps, but it doesnot help.
    Please help me to solve this.

    Call AT&T - it seems they are forcing their own settings on you.

  • After enabling cellular data, i am receiving mails even if disable "use cellular data for mail", due to this data usage usage use is more, if we have fix please let me know

    Phone Model and OS
    Model - iphone 5
    IOS 8.0.2
    Problem Description
    After enabling cellular data, i am receiving mails even if we disable "use cellular data for mail", due to this data usage usage use is more, if we have fix please let me know.
    Steps:
    1. Enable Cellular Data
    2. Disable mail on "use cellular data for mail
    3. check whether mail is received or not
    tried multiple times and i am getting more billing amount because of data usage

    Mail isn't the only app using data. Turning it off there has no effect whatsoever on whether the rest of iOS or other apps you have installed. In fact most apps use data these days, at a minimum for Notifications and often for gameplay and other features.

  • Why my apps can't be disable on USE CELLULAR DATA FOR under Cellular settings

    I came across an issue that my apps tend to stay on ( enable ) even when I disabled it manually, it will turn back on soon after, this can cause certain people data overage and extra data cost they did not expect. I always check my settings daily because I play with my phone numerous times a day so I noticed any changes or differences. So after I had done probably most people have tried, reset/restart the phone, check any latest OS updates, double check any settings, reset network settings, turn off and on data, turn on and off airplane mode, the conclusion is nothing. So I thought maybe i should try one app that I know kept turning back on when I disabled it, did the updates on the appstore, went back to the settings and I was able to turn on and off, tried the second app just to make sure my  assumption works, updated the newest version on appstore, it works. So I decided to update all of the apps, then the problem is FIXED ! I hope this solve people's issue. Now I am able to manually disable and enable any app under USE CELLULAR DATA FOR,It was lucky guess for me and it work.

  • "Use cellular data for" is only showing a few apps

    Hello,
    I just got a new 5S.  I have installed and used maybe 15 or so apps, but when I go to
    Settings -> Cellular -> "Use cellular data for"
    it only shows 5 apps: Calendar, FaceTime, Find iPhone, Passbook, & Skype.
    I would like to see all the apps so that I can control what is using cellular data.  When I read other posts online, it seems like this should show all apps.  Does anybody have any idea why I only see a few apps here or what I can do to display all apps?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi I  newly started using Iphone 6, I am not getting all the applications list under Use Cellular date for to restrict my unwanted apps on cellular data
    Please help me out

    Hi Rajesh778484,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that some of your applications are not appearing under Settings > Cellular on your iPhone so that you can restrict or allow use of cellular data. If you have some installed applications on your iPhone that are not showing here, the first troubleshooting step I would suggest would be to reset your iPhone. Please refer to the attached article for information on how to perform a reset. 
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    Hello Sophie59
    You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account.

  • HT201299 Apps in Green in 'use cellular data for..' cannot be turned off?

    Why does an app in 'use cellular data for..' keeps on going to Green eventhough I already swiped it off? It keeps coming back.

    First thing and easiest thing to try is a device reset:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
