iPhone 12 Mini: No Internet Connection

No matter if I try to connect it to wifi or a hotspot, it says there's no internet, even though I'm 100% sure there is a healthy internet connection.


It was working just fine and then, out of the blue, it won't connect.


I already reset all network settings and tried things I've found online to no avail.


Please help. I don't want to completely reset the phone if I can help it.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16

I actually used Google VPN and I suppose I activated it on the iPhone, but I wasn't actually using the iPhone's VPN, which I suppose is a separate service.


At any rate, I did touch the VPN button and it kept turning on and off, on and off, on and off, and then I forced closed the Settings app and came back later - - and, sure enough, it's connected to the Internet again!


Thank you so very much. I would have never guessed that that was the issue. I really appreciate it! 🙂🙏🙏
