How to allow Cellular App downloads over 200 MB on the iPhone & iPad? With ios 13 and ipados, you can disable the App Store cellular download limit. So you’re not asked for permission when downloading items over 200MB using your iPhone’s cellular data.
To ensure you don’t waste precious cellular data by accidentally downloading a massive app over your iPhone’s cellular connection. Apple has traditionally put a cap on content downloads when not using Wi-Fi.
Here is how to download apps without wifi.
About App Store cellular download limit
With the most recent change in May 2019 increasing the previous 150MB cellular cap to the current 200MB ceiling.
App Store downloads over Wi-Fi networks have no cap. The per-item download cap also applies to other stuff hosted by Apple’s digital stores like
Music
Podcasts
Books
Audiobooks
Movies
Television Shows and much more
App Thinning:
Also worth mentioning, you might be able to download an item over cellular even if it exceeds the size listed in the App Store. Because that only reports item sizes before they are compressed. As you know, Apple takes advantage of a technique called app thinning to reduce the size of an actual download versus the uncompressed size listed in the store.
For instance, you may be able to download a game over your iPhone’s cellular data connection even if the listed item is more than 200MB. With app thinning, only the assets that are relevant for your particular device are downloaded, with things like iPad UI and similar ignored.
iOS 13 and iPadOS brought new controls for managing the App Store cellular download limit. You can also disable it so that any App or iTunes Store item, regardless of its size, could download via your carrier’s cellular data connection, no permission needed whatsoever.
By default, iOS 13 and iPadOS permit downloads up to 200MB — any items over 200MB in size that you attempt to download over cellular networks will require explicit permission.
