iOS 27 update mobile network issues

Hi everyone,

does anyone going through dual sim network issues after iOS 27 update. Everything was working perfectly before update but when I updated my phone to iOS 27 days ago straight away I started getting network problems. I have force restarted the phone, reset the network settings and did everything possible but nothing works.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 27

This could easily be a bug introduced in the last upgrade. A portion of the modem firmware and software is written by the carriers. There are already community members posting about fixes from their carriers.


I personally faced a similar issue last year with my iPhone 17 Pro Max and AT&T. They tried an OTA reprovisioning and it repeatedly failed. I went into an AT&T store and issue resolved in about 10 minutes.


You can check for any OTA updates by following this path,


iPhone > Settings > General > About > if an update is available from the carrier a notification will appear


Typically the next update from Apple is 4 to 6 weeks after the initial release. I’d talk to my carrier.

Contact Meta support for issues with WhatsApp. It’s the app development team responsible for updating their apps for new carrier and iOS upgrades. In the last month WhatsApp has been updated 17 times. When this happened in iOS 26, Meta took several months to finally fix most of their calling bugs. Their initial advice, which worked for some users, was to backup, delete WhatsApp and download a fresh copy from the Apple App Store.

Your issue could be. However, there are members reporting similar issues and they are being resolved by their carriers.


Your welcome to contact Apple Support and do diagnostics. A probable step will be reset network settings on your iPhone.

The moment I updated the ios to 27 both my sims stopped working together. If u switch off one of them, the other works fine. I have since been trying everything in my capacity to fix this. I have contacted apple support, did everything they asked me to do.I have even visited service centres, where apple has only trained their engineers one thing. Any problem you are facing, we will update your software. If that resolves your issue, its fine. If not, that’s yours to handle. We do not know beyond this. So now, after trying everything and spending money on something which was not even my fault, m still stuck with the issue with no help at all. I really hope apple comes up with a solution asap!!

I have the same issue on my iPhone 16 Pro Max after upgrading to iOS27. When both SIMs are switched on, the primary SIM’s mobile data will stop working and went no signal after that. Once i switched off the second SIM, it will get back normal. I’ve tried different combinations of my physical SIM and eSIM from different telcos/carriers and countries. All gave the same issue. Deleting VPN and switching to LTE doesn’t fix the issue. My iPhone SE 2022 doesn’t have such problem though. Hopefully Apple will provide update to fix the dual SIM bug soon.
