T-Mobile is making its T-Life app more useful with six new features that aim to take the hassle out of managing your wireless service. The updates include an AI assistant that helps you shop for phones and manage your account through regular conversation, plus the ability to stay connected even in remote areas where cell towers can’t reach.

The app launched earlier in 2024 as a one-stop shop for T-Mobile customers to handle everything from upgrading devices to claiming weekly perks. Since then, it’s become one of the most popular lifestyle apps on both iPhone and Android, and the company says they’ve been listening to customer feedback to make it even better.

The standout feature is the new AI assistant that works 24/7 to answer questions, help you compare phones and plans, and find deals you qualify for. You can talk to it or type your questions just like texting a friend. For anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed trying to figure out which phone to buy or what plan makes sense, this could be a real timesaver.

Another major addition is T-Satellite integration, which uses Starlink satellites to keep the T-Life app and other popular apps working in places where there’s no cell signal. That means you can use Google Maps, WhatsApp, and other apps even when you’re hiking in the backcountry or driving through rural areas. The satellite feature works with most smartphones from the last four years and comes with T-Mobile’s Experience Beyond plan.

The update also makes shopping easier by letting you change things in your cart without starting over. Want to switch from blue to black or add more storage? You can do it right there instead of going back to square one. The same goes for trade-ins, which now update instantly.

T-Mobile Home Internet users also get better control through the app now. You can check your signal strength, run speed tests, see which devices are connected, and adjust settings all in one place. And if you’ve got old phones sitting in a drawer, the app now makes it simple to recycle them, even broken ones, as part of T-Mobile’s push toward cleaner operations.

All six updates are available now in the T-Life app for T-Mobile customers.
