iOS 16.1 unreliable wifi connectivity

I am having issues with wifi connectivity on my iphone 13pro max since updating to ios 16.1. The connection just drops randomly if the phone is on standby and then to reconnect each time i have to pick it up and go and select the wifi i want to connect to again and again. Is this issue similar for others?

Make sure the connection says Auto-Join


after that


·      Reset the router to factory settings (menu or paper clip) - yes I know all other devices work fine!

·      On iphone Settings, General, Transfer iphone or reset, reset, reset network settings

·      If you have a VPN you are strongly recommended to uninstall it and its profile in Settings, General, VPN and device management 

 

Here's some more steps you can try for Wi-Fi connection issues that may be helpful if your phone will not connect to WiFi
