Both iOS 18.0 and 18.1 updates have used up my cellular data allowances when I had good wi-fi connection. Is there any way that cellular can be switched off only for these big iOS updates, or any way that I could at least be warned that cellular is used when on wi-fi? Or do I just have to remember to disconnect cellular every time I do an update?
iPhone SE, iOS 18
This is also happening to me. Toggling WiFi-Assist on/off has no effect. My iPhone keeps using cellular data even when connected to WiFi. Now I'm close to reaching my carrier fast data limit for the month!

Plug your phone to power source so it stays connected to wifi.
Hello~ Click on below and review…
Use cellular data on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support*
*If activated, Wi-Fi Assist automatically switches to use cellular data when Wi-Fi connectivity is poor. Wi-Fi Assist is on by default. This might result in additional cellular data use, which could incur additional charges depending on your data plan. You can turn off Wi-Fi Assist in Settings. Learn more about Wi-Fi Assist.
Is your WiFi connection poor?

Thanks, useful information, but it does not seem to be what has happened here. I’ve checked and Wi-fi assist is off and wi-fi is good.
I’m seeing same kind of issues. Wi-fi assist is off, and still I am finding seeing issues. Burned thru fist month mostly due to WiFi assist being on by default and turned off but still see data use when I know I’m on strong wifi.
It was plugged into power source.
