Why "Settings" needs Cellular in iOS? I'm getting a similar warning as this one:



Whenever I get to Settings in iOS. I have deactivated Cellular connections for everything (including Settings) but Chrome Browser. 

I'm wondering if anyone know why Settings needs a Cellular connection?

As seen on this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6567893
Not to start a Greek chorus here but I checked on my iPhone 5 with the latest IOS (8.1.1) wth wifie and cellular data off and I do not get that message either.

I am thinking that possibly ajkblue is correct and it may be trying to contact Apple's software update servers or your carriers servers for a carrier update. there is likely a timer that forces a check every week or so.
