In our modern times, a reliable internet connection can be more valuable than ever. With seemingly everything important requiring some sort of internet connection, losing your cellular or Wi-Fi connection can fall anywhere on the aggravating scale from a minor inconvenience to a full-blown headache. For those who like to ensure they’re constantly connected, your iPhone actually has an underrated feature, though Apple has now given it a new name.

The feature helps users more quickly switch between cellular and Wi-Fi connections, with users across X and elsewhere claiming that the feature is now more consistent and speedier.
