We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Vivo iQoo. Finally, we will see in which situations it is necessary to change the APN on the Vivo iQoo.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Vivo iQoo to connect to the web and receive MMS. An improperly configured APN can thus prevent your Vivo iQoo from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You need to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How you can configure an APN on your Vivo iQoo
If you want to set up an APN on your Vivo iQoo, you will have to navigate to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and then Access Point Names . When you are there, you have to select the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You may then access a form that you will have to fill in with the data of your operator. One example is, if you are at Vodafone , you must find the Vodafone APN data on the net and copy it into the form. Most of the time, the APN of each operator are quickly findable. You need to do it again two times the process on your Vivo iQoo. Certainly, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.

As a general rule, you don’t always need to configure an APN on your Vivo iQoo as it’s usually done automatically.

This may also be the case if you are traveling abroad and consequently change your SIM card.
