Some apps say no internet connection

Thank you so much for replying. I did update my phone and tried again and it's still happening. The weather app says "check your internet connection" and the bank app says "network connectivity error". Any other ideas?

I have the same problem- started suddenly with no trigger. I can’t connect to what’s app or Facebook messenger on wifi or mobile data. I get a constant error message saying what’s app is connecting; on FBM messages just don’t send.

Safari, App Store, other apps work. I don’t have a VPN or any unknown apps. Have tried restoring network settings, rebooting the iPhone (11 pro) and updating the apps and iOS.

Any other ideas? Thanks!

I am having issues connecting to different apps. Doesn’t matter is I’m connected to WiFi. Reset my network settings. Ensured No VPN connection. Tried restarting. Turning airplane mode off and on. Nothing is helping. Yet I’m able to access this forum through the browser. But my apps say no internet connection. iPhone 11 Pro. Phone system updated. Yet I’m getting notifications for the apps.

I've been having the same problem since the software upgrade. iPhone works fine no Internet problems sitting side-by-side with an iPad that tells me there's no Internet. Happens multiple times a day. Very aggravating

Mine is not connected to a VPN. I have none. So, what is going on? Tried to use an app to get ice cream and couldn't get it to open and it kept telling me I wasn't connected to the internet. I did notice I was on LTE. Which seems to be the norm. Why have 5G if you can't access it.

Understood. So, why am I having the issue with using apps while using cell data? I have turned data on and off, cellular roaming is on, airplane mode toggled on and back off. rebooted phone. I'm using an iPhone 12, most up to date iOS,

I currently have app tracking off. Could this be the issue? Everything works flawlessly on my home WiFi. No time to make an appointment with a "Genius" at my local Apple Store.

I have tried going into settings, searching VPN, clicking on VPN and device management, it shows VPN not connected. There is nothing to delete. I have no VPN's. My iPad is constantly dropping the Internet connection. It's on for a couple minutes off for a couple minutes on for a couple minutes off for a couple minutes. Makes it impossible to complete any transactions. Please help. This is an iPhone 12 with the latest software

No. The problem still persists. Terribly frustrating. I’ve gone from loving my iPad to hating it. New iPad pro purchased in September 2021, all software updates installed. Have tried every suggested solution with no luck.

I still don’t know how to delete the VPN. There is no option to delete in settings. Only off and on. Please advise. This is my sons phone and I can’t fix it which is causing life 360 and others not to work.

How did you find the app that had the lurking VPN in the background? My son's VPN in settings is off too and we don't know which app is causing the issue.

Add-on VPN apps and add-on security apps (the latter tend to use use the same interfaces and mechanisms as the add-on VPNs) have to be installed. The add-on VPN apps are usually named with some variation of VPN.

I’m having the very same problem. App installed March 23, 2022 and worked fine for 3 months; it now says no internet connection. I’ve restarted phone several times and I deleted and reinstalled app several times. I have no problems with other apps and am connected to the internet. My iPhone 11 Pro Max is updated to most current software iOS 15.5. I need help.

Actually in addition to some apps (including twitter) that are not connected to the internet via WIFI, the settings-> software update cannot connect to the internet via WIFI as well.

but they can connect to the internet via cellular

I did the following suggested actions with no luck

1- turn off and turn on the device

2- remove all VPN settings

3- turn off settings->cellular -> WIFI assist

4- settings->general -> transfer or reset iphone -> reset network settings

5- turn on settings->general-> data and time -> set automatically

Oh my goodness thank you so much, two weeks I have been trying to sort this I have been into Vodafone twice and phoned their helpline and they couldn’t sort it I wasn’t connected to a vpn but like you said it was lurking in my settings I’m very happy 😁

I think it’s disgraceful that the last six months all the apps or at least many of them will not work without an Internet connection. I travel a lot and then I don’t have Internet and my Google Maps, which I need doesn’t work and neither does anything else if this persists, then this is the last iPhone I will buy.

Google Maps downloads maps as you need them. If you don’t have an Internet connection it can’t download them. You can get navigation apps that store their entire database on the phone. That’s what you need.

And most apps are internet gateways, not standalone apps.
