Public wifi connection

Why am I unable to connect to public wifi networks? Network name shows up, but when I try to connect it says “no internet connection”. Same situation wherever I try to join a public wifi network. I’ve already tried reseting my network connections, didn’t help. I’m using iPhone 11 updated iOS 16.1.1.

Thank you for the screenshot.


Troubleshooting iPhone WiFi on a Public LAN:

Just because you are connected to WiFi doesn’t mean you are connected to the Internet. Note that you might be using internal services. Or it could be that Screen Time is getting in the way.
