Apple dose not care what an app experiences. The current work around is off load the WeChat from setting->iPhone storage->WeChat . Not the custom content. Then reinstall the WeChat. It works for me.

IOS16.1 UPDATE Wechat Not Working, or "Network Unavailable" Message


Hi After Updating to IOS 16.1 I found that several Apps (Chinese) were having difficulty connecting to the Network. This was most evident with Wechat reporting a Network Unavailable message.


The issue, in my case, was related to my VPN Apps trying to automatically connect to the Network and failing to do so. This kept switching the VPN toggle on and off.


After deleting the VPN Apps Wechat (and Alipay) started working again, which is particularly relevant to payment and health code systems.


This may not solve the original Poster's question, but I asked the same question and this has turned out to be the answer to my issue.
