Why don’t I see 5G in the status bar on my iPhone?

To connect with 5G services, please ensure you are in an area that has 5G coverage.

To check if the data setting is set to 5G go to Settings > go to 'Mobile/Cellular Service' > select the SIM profile you wish to activate 5G for > select 'Voice & Data' and ensure that the 5G option is selected.
