If an app or feature on your device is not working, not appearing, or is restricted (grayed out), it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by an IT administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.

Okay, an original battery with 88% is good. Apple's iPhone User Guide says: "If your iPhone isn’t working as expected, you can try restarting it by turning it off, then turning it back on. If turning it off and on doesn’t fix the issue, try forcing it to restart.":

Majukas ~ 80% is not healthy and is probably the reason Wi-Fi doesn't turn on. Apple recommends having the battery replaced at around 80% – so have the weak, aging battery replaced and see if that solves the problem:

To be clearer, this icon is the Settings app:
...Tap it to open Settings app. Then scroll down to Battery and tap it. Then tap Battery Health... and tell us what the Maximum Capacity % is. If its value is only "––", let us know that.

Majukas ~ As an iPhone 12 could be almost 3 years old, does it still have its original battery?
And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...
