How To Turn Off 5G On a Samsung Galaxy S21 5G?
micah_breitenberg
about 2 years ago
If you have a Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, you can disable 5G in two ways. The first is to change it in your settings; however, not all carriers allow this option. The second way is to use an app that can disable 5G and use another band you select, such as 3G or 4G.
