I would like to hide the SSID of my wireless network (wi-fi) but the problem is that my iPhone is still disconnecting and even forgets the credentials when I lock the iPhone for 30sec-1min. I have to log in everytime. How can I do ? I tried with a visible SSID and it works normally but since then I put it in hidden mode it becomes very annoying.

Hello. I have the same issue with our iPads, and was hoping to find a helpful reply to the original question. Unfortunately, the responder clearly did not read the question at all. The user did NOT have trouble connecting to the network, as both links address, but with RE-connecting to the same network after initially connecting.
After connecting with our hidden network successfully, our iPads fail to re-connect and the network must be added again. The iPad retains the password, though, so only the network name needs to be added. I should point out that none of our Android phones, Chromebooks, or Microsoft PCs have this issue, so this software issue is unique to Apple with relocating a previously connected hidden network.
