Quickly grasp the signal strength of the iPhone - 1

It’s very simple, open the Phone app and go to the Keypad tab. Then dial *3001#12345#*. Now the iPhone will open a new menu. Tap on the three lines button at the top right of the screen. In RAT, tap on Servicing Cell Info. Scroll down and find RSRP. Now, users can know the mobile signal strength at home or anywhere.

Of course, users may have difficulty if they are not familiar with this menu. To understand better, first, the menu that users just opened is the Field Test Mode for the iPhone. Engineers mainly use this to find useful data, including iPhone signal strength.

RSRP in question stands for Reference Signal Received Power, which is the power of the iPhone signal. Basically, it provides an accurate measurement of the distance between the user and the nearest mobile tower. The number will range from -140 to -40. The closer to the number -40, the stronger the signal will be, so users should pay attention to that number.

What if the signal is weak?

This information will not bring any benefits to users other than finding out the signal strength. Users will not be able to do anything more by using this menu. Fortunately, earlier, a trick from TikTokers also showed that users only need to turn on airplane mode on the iPhone for a few seconds before turning it back on, they can improve when the iPhone will search for the strongest signal currently available. If there is a closer mobile tower, it will connect to that tower instead of the previous mobile tower.

Of course, if the user is at home or in a position where there are not many nearby mobile towers, this trick may not do anything to improve the connection. Not only that, continuously searching for different signals can deplete your battery faster, so be careful when using this trick frequently.
