Bad WiFi after iOS 14 update

This is ridiculous! Even with the “Private” setting off, I still have rubbish response time on the internet. I have an IPhone 11 and won’t be upgrading to the new one if this doesn’t get sorted ASAP!!

I have tried both Reset Network Settings and a full Erase All Content and Settings. These provided some temporary improvement on my iPhone 7 Plus but not a permanent fix. Today my WiFi speeds are woeful. My work laptop (Windows) is absolutely fine, however.

My partner’s iPhone and iPad (both also running iOS 14.4) are having similar issues.

My battery is draining very quickly and the phone is warm to the touch.

I don’t know what was in iOS 14.4 but neither my iPhone nor my iPad is giving satisfactory performance. Sort it out, Apple. 😡

Thank you for posting your experience. I have to say it correlates EXACTLY with mine.

Ever since we updated to iOS 14.4 we have had the same experience. That was several weeks ago and Apple seem to be in no hurry to do anything about it.

I’ve put on hold a decision to upgrade my iPhone until I see how Apple responds to this matter. So far, not so good.

Well I was directed to the Genius Bar about two days after purchase the clerk didn’t even bother to touch the phone told me that I should go home and do factory restore and that would resolve the problem guaranteed, it didn’t work called support they then scheduled a visit to a nearby Best Buy and then 15 minutes and canceled it and now the phone has to be periodically have to do network resets so that I can connect to the data network, I am with the most expensive carrier A bunch of BS

I don’t quite understand why, but this week I’ve noticed a significant improvement in connection stability to my home Wi-Fi - even using my VPN service. Bandwidth and speed are back to normal.

Maybe Apple issued a patch behind the scenes, I don’t know.

I have only once had to “forget” the network and then reinstall, but that was it.

Perhaps Apple realised that people were unhappy and did something about it? We can only hope!

We are also having archaic speeds on our i14 & i12 phones. This has only happened since the latest iOS version. We have done all the suggested options without any success.

Is Apple going to do anything about this as we have checked our WiFi single and all is excellent.

Thank your so much. Worked like a charm. I have very bad experience with this Apple junk. So expensive and yet I have to search solutions for their crappy updates. What the **** can do a non-English speaker? Let it malfunction?

Thank you so much for this advice. I made the change you suggested and my device performance quadrupled!

This actually worked for me too. Maybe not like pre ios14 but a heck of a lot better than before. Thanks!

not working. my wifi still very slow

when can we expect a fix for this ridiculous ios 14.3 wifi connectivity issue dragging for quite some time now? Would hope Apple had resolved this by now.... a disappointed apple iPhone user.

thanks for the reply but my issues started with the iOS 14.4 update

Thanks for the suggestion! 👍🏻

Well this works a treat - thank you so much!

Why is my model 14 extremely slow connecting to my wifi
