WiFi Disconnects when iPhone is Locked

I checked my family and friends' IPHONE12 and IPHONE12PRO, and after testing them in different network environments, we all have the same problem.

Let me tell you a story, and one day it will be true.

If a user's child is in danger and hides in the basement, the phone has no signal but there is a WIFI signal, so she sends IMESSAGE to her mom for help, the mom says "Don't go out yet, mom will check the home monitor remotely to see if someone comes in with a gun, I will send you a message in five minutes and tell you what to do ", daughter, "Okay", and TAKE THE HOME BOTTON then lock the IPHONE screen.

four minute LATER the mother sent an IMESSAGE, "run out of the house, the bad guys are on the third floor almost to the basement, now!!!RUN!!!" But the daughter got the message WHEN the bad guy caught her exactly in the basement; this was the sixth minute after the lock screen! THE IMEASSAGE WAS TOO LATE!

Mom was sad, but SHE didn't know it was all a problem with APPLE because the WIFI disconnect after the lock screen is to save power.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

LET ME SEE, THERE HAS 50% CHANCE under the page who will reply like this:

First of all, head to Settings > Wi-Fi, forget this network and then join again. When joined, tap info of your network and make sure that Auto-Login is on.

Then you could try to disable Wi-Fi networking services. This can also help in fixing the Wi-Fi disconnects when iPhone is locked issue as reported by many users. Moreover, turning off the Wi-Fi network will also help you save battery. To turn off the Wi-Fi networking, go to Settings> Privacy > Location Services> System Services and then slide the Wi-Fi networking toggle to off.

If it is and you still experience this issue, Reset Network Settings under Settings > General > Reset.

This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before.

You might also wanna check if there are any software updates for the router you are using. Sometimes, Wi-Fi router can also cause problems like Wi-Fi disconnects when iPhone is locked. You can try updating the router firmware if it is outdated. As every router manufacturer has a different process of updating the firmware, visit the official website of your router manufacturer to get the detailed information about the process.
