Jio APN settings: How to change Jio APN settings for faster 4G internet on Android, iOS and Windows phones | 91mobiles.com
Are you a Jio user, facing internet issues on your smartphone? It could be either due to poor network or wrong Jio APN settings on your Android, iOS, or Windows device. This could be determined by the signal strength. If it’s weak, chances are you are in a bad signal area. However, if the Jio signal is strong, yet you are getting slower internet speed, it’s time to fix APN settings. Now usually, the APN settings are configured automatically by the provider, once you insert a Jio SIM card into your device. But if the internet is still troubling you, you need to set up the right APN settings for the Jio network on your phone to be able to enjoy high-speed 4G internet.
Wondering how? Read on to know more about properly configuring the Jio APN settings on your Android, iOS or Windows smartphone to access the internet faster.
What is APN?
APN, or Access Point Name, is the main setting for all cellular data connectivity. Your phone reads this setting to access the link between your carrier’s mobile network and the Internet. All mobile network companies offer their distinctive APN settings to users to allow them to use their internet services. Right APN settings can help increase the internet speed on their phones for streaming HD videos, playing online games, and much more.
