The Google Fi APN (Access Point Name) is the setup that allows your device to make use of the Google Fi network to access the internet and use data. The APN settings vary depending on your device and operating system.
1. Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on "Mobile Data" or "Cellular".
3. Tap on "Mobile Data Options" or "Cellular Data Options".
4. Tap on "Mobile Data Network" or "Cellular Data Network".
Next, enter the following APN settings:
- APN: h2g2
- Username: leave it blank
- Password: leave it blank
Ensure that all other fields are left empty or have their default values.
After entering the correct APN settings, you can exit the settings menu and restart your device if necessary.

Next, tap on the "+" icon or three vertical dots to add a new APN.
Enter the following APN settings:
- Name: Google Fi
- APN: h2g2
