When does it disconnect? The phone disables Wi-Fi 30 seconds after the screen locks unless it is plugged in. It does this to preserve battery life, because Wi-Fi, when connected, uses power continuously. If the phone receives a notification while asleep Wi-Fi turns on to process the notification, then turns off again.


If it turns off when you are actually using it there’s something wrong; here’s a good place to start→Resolve Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues caused by wireless interference - Apple Support
