Hi everyone!

Hi Celine2325,

Re: "I have connection problem on my phone"


Wondering if your iPhone's iOS is up-to-date with the latest iOS version:

About iOS 16 Updates says 16.4.1 is the latest version.

Updating may help, if you are still using an earlier iOS16 version..

Else, if you are using the latest iOS version already,

Restarting the iPhone will often help put things right, when not working:

How to: Restart your iPhone


You could then re-test.

Sometimes. if you use VPN, that can cause interference, so try turning VPN off temporarily, to see if that makes a difference.

If needed:

What to do: If an app would like to connect to devices on your local network
