With the unfortunate security response update for iOS 16.5.1 (c) (20F770750d) two days ago, I was no longer able to access the majority of my apps - which are basic ones such as the App Store.
Before moving any further, which I had to double-check for myself, be certain your VPN is not the actual problem on your device. The settings there may be the culprit for the issues encountered.

If you have VPN installed, even if you are not using it, delete the VPN profile and app, then test again.
Updating iOS on your iPhone should not change your personal details. iOS updates primarily focus on improving system performance, introducing new features, fixing bugs, and enhancing security. They are designed to preserve your personal data, settings, and information intact.
During an iOS update, your device's operating system is upgraded, but your personal data, such as contacts, photos, messages, and other information, should remain unchanged. However, it's always a good practice to perform a backup of your device before any major update to ensure that your data is safely stored.
It's important to note that while an iOS update itself should not alter personal details, it's possible that certain features or settings may be adjusted or improved with the update. In such cases, you may need to review and adjust specific settings to match your preferences after the update.
Always make sure to read and understand the update details provided by Apple before proceeding with an iOS update, and follow best practices such as backing up your device to minimize any potential risks or complications.
If the issues you mentioned are indeed caused by iOS, it's likely that numerous users who have upgraded to iOS 16.4.1 (a) or 16.5 or 16.5.1 or 16.5.1 (C) are experiencing similar problems. However, in order for the community on this forum to provide helpful responses, it would be beneficial for you to specify the nature of the issue you are encountering. Without this information, it may be difficult for others to address your concern effectively.
With the limited information that you have provided, It is hard to even guess the problems faced by you.

Please re-post with detail so that someone else can help.
WhatsApp and Wi-Fi on my device has gone wonky post-update. iOS 16.5.1 (c) (20F770750d).
1.) Whatsapp is stuck at connecting and messages are coming in sporadically. The same issue is encountered regardless of whether I am on Wi-Fi or 4G.
2.) The Wi-Fi icon doesn’t show at the top of the screen despite being connected to my home Wi-Fi. Apps such as TikTok, IG, OOKLA Speedtest states that there is no connection.
My Windows PC and and my Smart TV works fine.
