Why Isn’t 5G Showing on My iPhone?

If your iPhone and eSIM support 5G but you don’t see it in the status bar, follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue.

Check 5G Availability

• Make sure you’re in an area with 5G coverage.

• Ensure your encryptSIM eSIM supports 5G.

• Only iPhone 12 models or later are compatible with 5G networks.

Verify Your 5G Settings

1. Go to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data).

2. Select your encryptSIM eSIM.

3. Tap Cellular Data Options > Voice & Data.

4. If 5G On or 5G Auto is available, your device supports 5G. If these options aren’t shown, the network may not support 5G in your location.

Reconnect to the Network

• Turn on Airplane Mode, wait a few seconds, then turn it off.

• Restart your iPhone to refresh network settings.

Other Considerations

• 5G coverage depends on local carrier infrastructure. Some areas may only support LTE.

• Being too far from a 5G tower may cause speeds to drop to 4G/LTE.

If you still don’t see 5G, contact our support team for further assistance.
