Spinning Wheel issue: Constant Spinning wheel: Continuously trying to sync/update with network or wifi.

Spinning wheel issue:

Network "updating/syncing/connecting to wifi or data:

If you are getting a constant spinning wheel and unsure why it happens or why it is continuing to spin and drain your battery. Here is what I have tested and discovered.


The “Siri, Stop wheel spinning” works but it is most definitely an issue with “talk to text”.

I tested the following:

Attempted talk to text= spinning wheel… Siri “stop wheel spinning” worked.

Attempted talk to text= spinning wheel… disabled and re-enabled siri- still spinning.

Attempted talk to text= spinning wheel… reset network settings/re-enabled wifi (worked)

Attempted talk to text= spinning wheel… just turned off/on wifi- did not work.

Attempted talk to text= spinning wheel… reboot phone (worked)

Attempted talk to text= spinning wheel… switched off wifi calling- did not resolve.

It appears to be a major bug in the software that I hope Apple is addressing and will release a patch or update soon.

This is not related to the issue. This has to do with a specific feature causing the small icon in the task bar/tool bar on the top of an iphone to continuously spin. It’s usually related to Apple devices trying to update/sync or reach a WiFi/or network to pull information. Once you use “talk to text” on an iphone it the small icon wheel will continuously spin trying to obtain (as if it’s trying to update or connect to WiFi/data network without a reason or cause.


note background apps and background processes have been closed out or stopped and this issue has been specifically related to the “speech to text/talk to text feature” whenever you use it, the wheel does not stop until you do what I stated as the “temporary solution”. Apple needs to address this in an update or patch. Nothing can be done factory reset/ network reset/Icloud reset, etc does not resolve this issue.
