iOS 15 wifi issues

I have the same issue since upgrading to iOS 15. It definitely has something to do with the upgrade because every other device in this house can connect to Wi-Fi. And the iPhones that did not upgrade, are not experiencing any issues. I have an iPhone X With an upgrade, and I’m experiencing the Wi-Fi issues. We have another iPhone X in the house and they did not upgrade, and they are not experiencing any issues. I have reset my network settings. I’ve restarted the phone numerous times. I have selected forget network and out of network again. I restarted my Wi-Fi router/modem several times, nothing is changing this issue. Would like to see an update from Apple sooner rather than later. I am seeing a lot of videos with people experiencing this issue shortly after one of the iOS 14 updates. It Has to be a known issue. Please resolve.

Had the same problem after updating to iOS 15.1 on my IPhone 12. iPhone would not connect to Wi-Fi but still say it was connected in settings. Turning Wi-Fi on and off in settings did nothing.

However this fix WORKED FOR ME:

1: Turn Wi-Fi off in settings on Iphone.

2: Turn Iphone off.

3: I waited roughly 30 sec

4: Turn Iphone on

5: Turn Wi-Fi on in settings and it connects properly to Wi-Fi.

With an older iPhone model such as the 7 Plus, it's worth checking the battery. If it's still the original 5 year-old battery, the long process of applying an iOS update can strain a weak, aging battery and be "the straw that broke the camel's back". What's the Maximum Capacity % here?...

Settings > Battery > Battery Health

...And is there an "Important Battery Message" there? [Ref: Apple]

Perform this procedure:

• Disconnect (turn off) all devices from your Wifi Network.
• Turn off your modem-router, wait for at least 1 minute.
• Turn it back on, waiting for its complete autoconfiguration cycle.
• Turn your iPhone back on and connect it to your Wifi Network.

A issue is marked Solved by the person who made the first post. So it is marked Solved because vickyvjain said it solved their problem. That was probably in error but that’s a permanent label.

In case you haven’t read the rest of the thread, the most common solution to this problem is to delete the VPN app and profile from your phone, if any.

Other troubleshooting steps:

• See if it happens with all Wi-Fi connections (try a Starbucks or MacDonalds, for example), or only your home network
• Restart your router if it is only your home network
• Go to Settings/Wi-Fi and tap on the i next to the network name and turn off Private Wi-Fi Address
• Forget the Wi-Fi connection, then add it back
• Reset Network Settings on your phone

I bought the iPhone 13 yesterday. All the other phone in my home have good connection with home wifi. Only my iPhone 13 has problem with wifi. I am trying all my ways to solve but still doesn't. It is super slow and several time show no connection.

I figured out a few things but don't have an answer. I'm on an iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 15.1. When the phone is connected to wifi, it's SUPER SLOW. It will connect to wifi but websites and social media take a really long time to load. It will show me that my home pods and other home kit items are playing music/running, but won't let me control them from the phone. It just shows "trying to connect." I remember having this issue about a year and a half ago and I figured out if I turned off the "Private Address" setting, everything would start working again.

On iOS 15, when I turn that setting off, the phone completely disconnects from wifi, and the "trying to connect" symbol just spins forever. After a few hours of that, the phone will automatically turn the private network setting back on, reconnect to wifi, and the process starts all over again.

Hopefully, they get this fixed because it's pretty frustrating.

Still didn’t work, sigh! No notifications from apps such as WhatsApp until I open the specific conversation.

Can’t update my watch either as it says it can’t connect to it even though I just received a notification telling me it’s fully charged.

Something has happened with how iOS and Wi-Fi interact.

Same issues. Ever since the ios 15.1 update my iPhone 7 plus has been terrible. Wi-Fi and even cellular connection is very hit or miss. All other devices that did not get the 15.1 update are fine, so it's not an issue with any of the hardware. Strictly a 15.1 update issue. Tried everything suggested but nothing has worked. Getting very frustrated with Apple, they need to release a fix soon. But with the bad connectively I'm not even sure I'll be able to upload it.

After upgrading my iPhone last night (Nov 29) to OS 15.1, I could no longer connect to WiFi. No procedure of rebooting, turning WiFi off and on, forgetting the network, etc, etc, changes the problem.

The problem is that I can no longer log into the WiFi network because the login screen is now completely blank - there is no box for entering the network password.

My phone is now just an expensive flip phone for calls only - effectively no data connection.

What is the fix, which I desperately need immediately? Can I undo the 15.1 installation and go back to the last OS that worked?

HELP!!!

SAME this is awful. I know ots got to be the update plus hardware rev bc my husband has a brand new 13 and my 12 pro max keeps doing the same thing. This is beyond irritating - i have done all the things that apple says to do here. This has to be fixed

I have the same issue. I’m writing this on my iPhone XI that is not working Wi-Fi and 4G on Apple app (safari and App Store, …). BUT THIS IS WORKING WITH CHROME BROWSER AND OTHER’S… WHAT A SHAME FOR APPLE.

Just updated IOS 15 last night and was working fine before then. Same issue, tried all the different solutions but with no luck. When locked wifi will work and I'll get notifications but when I try to open any apps it states there's no internet connection

I love how this issue is marked as solved when it’s clearly not. Apple is just force feeding us updates with no actual resolution of the Wi-Fi problem. No one really cares about it either, so I’ll wait for my comment to be edited or removed.
