Apple's updated iCloud Private Relay notice clarifies why it might not work for some users
that its update rolled out with changes to Private Relay, as one would expect:"No changes were made to iCloud Private Relay in iOS 15.2 that would have toggled the feature off," a spokesperson said.
Whatever the real reason is for the feature being switched off, fixing the problem could be as simple as toggling some settings back on. The updated notice that rolled out with iOS 15.3 beta now says: "Private Relay is turned off for your cellular plan. Private Relay is either not supported by your cellular plan or has been turned off in Cellular Settings. With Private Relay turned off, this network can monitor your internet activity, and your IP address is not hidden from known trackers or websites.
