Hey Myllo7,


If we understand correctly, you're unable to turn on your Wi-Fi on your iPhone due to the setting being grayed out. For this, start with restarting your iPhone as this can resolve many issues: Restart your iPhone


Then, we'll want to ensure that your iPhone is updated. Since you're not able to use Wi-Fi, you'll want to update using a computer. Be sure to back up first:

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If you're still unable to turn on Wi-Fi, reset the network settings. This will reset all network settings, including Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings. Be sure you have your passwords handy before resetting. When you're ready, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.


If you're still not able to turn on Wi-Fi you'll want to have your iPhone serviced. To look into your available options reach Apple Support here: Get Support
