It shows it’s connected in settings, but doesn’t display the wifi symbol at the top of my screen, and when I try to open certain apps, it says I’m not connected to wifi. I’ve tried EVERYTHING on the troubleshooting list!

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15
I recently purchased a new iPhone 13 pro max and I noticed that the Wi-Fi icon was not showing up. It was showing connected with the check mark next to it but at the top of my phone it just showed 5g. So I reset the network settings and it was the same thing. So I turned the wifi off and even my cell data was not really working. When I would go to apps like DoorDash and YouTube it said offline. But if I went to Safari and pulled it up it worked but was running very slow. So I called Apple and they screen shared with me and could not figure it out so they sent me a replacement. I set my replacement up and it was doing the same exact thing. I then begin to believe that it was my SIM card. So I called my carrier and we both realized that my SIM card was 4g instead of 5g so they shipped me one out. But after I got off the phone with them I noticed that there was a vpn switched that was moving back and fourth. If I tried to turn it off it would switch right back on. So I was flipping through my apps and I saw I had downloaded a Norton VPN and it was on. So I uninstalled the app and my wife signal showed up. After all of that thinking it was the other phone and the new one it was the darn VPN that was running…
Deleting Express VPN fixed it for me. Iphone 12
Deleting my Nord VPN on the 13 after transferring everything over from my iPhone 11 did the trick. Thank you
Toggling off under Settings>General>VPN .... worked for me too!!
Did you delete all your VPN apps?
My Wi-Fi connected immediately once I deleted my apps. Then I uploaded it again and it’s working great.
Restarting my home wifi network worked for me.
Do you have a VPN? My 13 Pro did the same thing with Surf Shark.
This solved it for me after setting up a new phone and re-installing from iCloud backup. VPN needed to be deleted.
go to general then scroll down to vpn I had the same problem now it’s fixed
Go to general and turn off vpn it worked for me
This worked for me (ie disabling VPN)
On my mother's iPhone 13 max pro, I had to disable the VPN and remove the app completely; i.e., she had Norton on her phone and I deleted the app entirely and then it worked fine.
Had the same issue. I switched off my VPN and everything was set up and downloaded from my icloud. You can switch on the VPN afterwards. It was frustrating at first though.
Do you have Norton’s 360 installed? I had to remove mine to get my iPhone 13Pro to connect to my router and STAY connected.
Try turning off vpn.
Don’t just turn off your VPN, uninstall it. That is what I had to do. You can then re-install it after getting a connection.
My iPhone 13 Pro will not connect to WiFi
