T-Mobile begins blocking iPhone users from enabling iCloud Private Relay in the US

<p>Earlier today, a report indicated that some European carriers (https://9to5mac.com/2022/01/10/european-carriers-seek-to-block-iphone-private-relay-feature/) were blocking the Private Relay feature introduced by Apple with iOS 15. This feature is designed to give users an additional layer of privacy by ensuring that no one can view the websites that they visit. </p>
<p>Now, in addition to some carriers in Europe, it appears that T-Mobile/Sprint in the United States is also blocking iCloud Private Relay access when connected to cellular data. </p>

<p><strong>Update: </strong>In a statement to 9to5Mac, a T-Mobile spokesperson said: </p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>Customers who chose plans and features with content filtering (e.g. parent controls) do not have access to the iCloud Private Relay to allow these services to work as designed. All other customers have no restrictions.</p>

<p>However, many of the users we’ve heard from, and tested ourselves, do not have any such content filtering enabled. We’ve followed up with T-Mobile for additional clarification, but have not yet heard back. </p>
