Cellular Signal Strength in iOS

Hi All,

IS there any way to get the cellular signal strength in iOS 12.0.

We are open for partnership with apple if it requires.

What are you planning to do with this value?

One common use case is to change the behaviour of your networking code based on the signal strength, and I strongly recommend you not do that. Check out this thread, where I explain my position on this.

Hi Eskimo,

We are not planning to change the behaviour of the networking code.

We will just trigger a network test when cellular signal strength falls below a threshold value.


Can you please let me know if apple can provide some API through partership.

I assume they can provide such apis to Verizon, TMobile etc.


So i am asking if it can be possible via some sort of parterneship with apple.

Can you please let me know if apple can provide some API through partership.

I can’t speak to that. DTS supports the iOS APIs as published in the iOS SDK, and there’s no such APIs to access signal strength.

If you’re working on behalf of a specific carrier then you should ask your carrier to discuss this via their contact at Apple.
