WIFI disconnects when iPhone13 goes to sleep mode/locked screen since I have updated to IOS 15.6.1.
I tried changing Wi-Fi settings, tried to reset network settings, however nothing has resolved my problem.
Is it a common problem after the 15.6.1 update for all the iPhone 13 users or just my phone??
iPhone 13, iOS 15
Wi-Fi on every iPhone ever made, with every version of iOS ever released, goes to sleep 30 seconds after the screen locks. It always has for 15 years, it has nothing to do with iOS 15.6.1 or with any other version of iOS.
An exception is if the phone is connected to power, or if there was a data transfer actively in process when the phone locked, the transfer will be allowed to complete before it sleeps. Another exception is if a notification is received; Wi-Fi resumes for 15 seconds to process the notification.
The reason: Wi-Fi uses energy as long as it has a connection, whether data are being transferred or not, so if it remained connected there would be a continuous drain on the battery.

Hi, Thank you for the link, I have already tried few of your suggestions even before I posted my question and didn't work, however I'll try the rest. I hope one of the suggestions would solve the issue.
Thank you
