What happens if I switch off the "Use Cellular Data for Facetime"?

So I got a notice saying that my phone's storage was almost full which makes no sense to me because I barely have about 300 pictures on my phone, barely any apps, but I do have music. I have mail turned OFF, and I am always on WIFI. I don't know how this is a problem.
So what would happen if I pressed the switch off button for the "Use Cellular Data for: facetime"?
I use facetime A LOT with my friends WHILE ON WIFI but if this is causing my storage to go so full, I will do it.
Please heLP!

Using cellular data has nothing to do with the storage capacity on your phone. By turning it off you will only be able to FaceTime when your connected to wifi, thus saving you on your data plan if you do not have unlimited data from your carrier.
You can go to settings > usage to view what is filling up the capacity of your phone. You should import and back up your pictures to your computer following the directions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • 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?

  • Why won't some apps appear on the "Use cellular data for" list?

    When I enter settings then go to cellular, not all the apps I have on my phone are appearing on that list. In my case, I am trying to turn off data for Twitch.tv and Mlg.tv but they aren't there! These apps use ALOT of data so I don't want to be using my limited amount in case my wifi ever cuts out. Any help is appreciated.

    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • Iphone 5 - "use cellular data for" option only shows Facetime and Passbook

    I have an iphone 5 and I am trying to manage my cellular data usage,
    When I go into Settings - Cellular and I look at the "use cellular data for" option, there are only 2 apps on the list Facetime and Passbook.
    I have seen other posts online that show a long list of apps that you can toggle Cellular data on and off.
    How can I see a longer list of apps.

    In Settings/General/Restrictions if you tap on Cellular Data Use there should be 2 options: Allow Changes or Don't Allow Changes. If you don't see these options is that where you see "Cellular data is turned off for 'Setting'?
    Do you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on your phone? If so your administrator may have added an override on this setting.

  • Application not listed in iOS- Settings- "Use Cellular data for"

    Hello,
    When i install the IPA of my application, it is not listed in the "Use Cellular data for" list in Cellular data Settings. I would like to know how to add my application to this list.
    Also, is it possible to get the Enabled/Disabled status of the my application if listed in the above list.

    No, but you could turn off Updates under Automatic Downloads in Settings>iTunes & App Store, then update them manually when you're connected to wifi.

  • What happened to Effort metrics in the Custom Reports data model?

    What happened to Effort metrics in the Custom Reports data model?
    Is there any way to use the Custom Reports data model to report on task effort?  This was a metric captured in the Standard Reports Data Package, but looking through the metrics in the Custom Reports data model (particularly the ServiceTask Fact table) I do not see any effort related metric. 

    Ed is right.  The Custom Report data model on pre-2007.1.1 did not contain task effort data but it is added as a fact to report against in the 2007.1.1 release.  You will get this once you upgrade to 2007.1.1 and turn on the task effort entry setting in site administration.

  • What does "use cellular data for" mean?

    In the settings, what happens if I turn on/off "use cellular data for?"

    For apps that require a data connection, if you enable that and you are not within range of a wifi node to use, the app will use cellular data which will count towards your cell plan's data usage.  If you turn that OFF, and there is no wifi available, the app will not work, but you also won't use any cellular data.
    so in the iTunes and App store settings, if you want to limit the stores to only use wifi, turn the "Use Cellular Data" option OFF (e.g. to avoid big downloads over cellular).

  • 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.

    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
    Best regards,
    Joe

    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.

  • "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.
