5G promises faster speeds, lower latency, and more reliable connections. This means that you should be able to download files and stream videos more quickly and with less buffering. Additionally, 5G should provide a more responsive and smoother experience when using mobile apps and gaming.
Jio and Airtel have begun rolling out 5G in certain cities in India. Jio and Airtel users in available cities with a compatible 5G smartphone are able to enjoy the 5G services. However, some users are not able to use 5G services despite having a 5G smartphone. Apparently, their smartphones need a software update to use 5G. This article will discuss why the phone is not showing a 5G network and how you can fix that. So, without further ado, let’s begin.
Why is your 5G Smartphone not Showing the Jio / Airtel 5G Network?
5G is not all about the hardware; it’s about the software too. Some popular smartphones like the iPhone 14 and Pixel 6a currently can’t run 5G despite having the complete 5G hardware. Even the founder of PayTM, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, also tweeted about the same. He said that he bought the Google Pixel 6a solely to use 5G, which he was unable to do. Many such users are also facing the same issue, waiting for an answer.

Smartphone companies tend to keep the 5G network locked until it is needed. Most of the 5G phones in India were launched before 5G started rolling out. 5G also drains the battery faster. That’s why smartphone companies blocked 5G with the software. However, 5G is now rolling out in the country. Many smartphones have been receiving OTA updates to enable 5G. Unfortunately, you can’t use 5G until the smartphone manufacturer enables it via an OTA update.
How do I get a 5G Network on my Smartphone?
If you want to get a 5G network on your Smartphone via a software update in India, you should first check with your phone’s manufacturer to see if your phone is 5G-compatible. If it is, you will likely receive a software update that will enable 5G connectivity. We recommend you keep an eye on any software updates for your Smartphone.
