ios 14.6 connectivity problems

If you see No Service or Searching on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Having the same issues. Can not text to anyone off wifi when I don’t have wifi or outside of Apple with I don have wifi. Can’t make calls at all. No data service outside of my wifi. I spent all day yesterday in the phone with T-Mobile while they tried to fix the issue and they are lost as to the cause. That’s why I Googled this issue and lo and behold, I’m not the only one. Sometimes I can reset and pick up the network briefly. Apple, this needs fixed ASAP! If I have an emergency and can’t call out, I’m coming for you since you know it’s an issue.

I contacted their help via Twitter, but I am seriously considering taking legal action. I have elderly parents and if something happens and they can not get in touch with me, that’s a real problem. My network is dropping even in the middle or calls and the rest works for maybe 30 minutes before it has to be done again (and sometimes doesn’t work at all). The fact that we can’t even go back to ios 14.5 is ridiculous.

In my case, I spoke with Apple support and we got to the point that I would have to erase my phone and start over. I didn’t have time that evening. The next evening I had decided to wait a little longer and see what happens. The next day, it was working better and by stroke of luck, I heard someone say T-Mobile was having network issues recently. Bu the next day, my problems were gone. So it turns out to have been my network all along. I heard Verizon in my area was having network issues.

Some suggestions to try were update carrier setting and remove and insert the SIM card in again. those didn’t work for me, but like I said, my issue resolved itself over time.

I had a VPN app installed on my phone. It wasn’t open or turned on, so I didn’t think it was related to my cellular data not working. Apple support asked me to remove it and that resolved the issue immediately.

I have been having the SAME issues!!! I use my phone to work as a gig worker. It’s so frustrating losing so much money because of this issue…… apps don’t load, phone calls drop, even the 4 LTE bars disappear and all I see is 4 dots instead. Called Verizon and they said there is no issue reported! They are just not even reporting the problem this is so frustrating and so annoying I said I would never get android but now I’m thinking about it if this doesn’t get fixed in the next few days

Similar issue with Verizon 11 Pro. After I updated to 14.6 streaming over cell signal became almost impossible. Songs drop if I'm listening to songs from Apple music that I've not downloaded to my phone. Apps that require streaming such as audio books don't work at all. This is very frustrating. Like others who have posted, I've tried all the tricks suggested and the problem persists.

Thanks... I think that worked. I'm streaming right now and what didn't work before is working. I'll have to try it out while driving on the freeway between cell towers to be sure if that was truly the fix. Thanks for your help.

I am constantly having to reset network settings when away from WiFi! It is horrible, I have done all the steps listed with still no fix in sight. I have Verizon and iPhone 12promax with latest update.

I am searching hi and low for the permanent fix. I can’t work, search the web use apps or even send texts when away from WiFi until I reset network. It is so bad!!

I already performed these suggestions.

What did Apple Support tell you when you contacted them?

Having the same exact issue on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I have tried all the usual steps, including taking my SIM card out, with no luck.

Since updating to IOS 14.6 I have 2 phones with Verizon that keep losing cellular service. It returns after re-setting. Anyone seeing issues like this?
