iOs 17.3.1 keeps dropping wifi and bluetooth

Ever since uploading 17.3 and then 17.3.1 my iPhone 13 will randomly drop the connection with wifi and bluetooth connected devices. This happens with my Fitbit watch and multiple headphones.

The wifi connection just randomly goes out, phone sees no available networks in settings.

I have gone through forgetting networks and bluetooth devices and reconnected to them. Bluetooth devices have been turned off and restarted.

Have turned off wifi and bluetooth, used airplane mode, and restarting both settings didn’t make things more stable. I’ve restarted the phone several times. Problems persist.

Computers, tv, other iPhone running ios 17.2 and android phones have no issues with home mesh wifi so I know it has NOTHING to do with the wifi setup. All was fine before I installed ios 17.3. 17.3.1 did not resolve this problem.

I’m annoyed at unknowingly using up my mobile data while at home with a functional wifi networks.

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 17

To temporarily fix the issue I just turn off WIFI for 30 seconds the back on and I get my connection back. No need to reboot.

I’m having the same issue. My iPad with iOS 17.3.1 is dropping the Wi-Fi connection fairly regularly. I don’t have mobile data on this iPad, so I’m unable to watch more than a minute or so of streaming video before the connection drops. Very frustrating.

The same thing is happening on my iPhone with 17.3.1 and my iPad with the new 15.8.1. It’s so annoying that we are forced to update and then these problems happen. I also don’t have cellular on my iPad so can’t really watch anything on it anymore.

Same here. Wish I never upgraded now. You pay almost £1000 for a phone and you have to restart your phone 4 times a day! What is Apple doing about this?

This is happening to me with cell service too. Phone will say I’m pulling a 5G signal but iMessage will spin and Spotify will skip like a 1999 discman. Incredibly frustrating.
