Similar problems here. Wifi stays connected but I cannot use Instagram, Safari App Store, iTunes or download updates for apps etc strangely iMessage/twitter/Facebook all work fine over wifi along with email. All problems above work when using cell data. Very frustrating I have reset phone along with a complete data erase also tried a full reset of modem at home and renewed iPhone lease nothing will work. The phone just says connection has been lost.


Any help would be hugely appreciated.

I agree with that, i have had my linksys router long time, and preview to the update, my iPhone was connected all the time i use it at home, any room. Now randomly when i wake up the phone and use it, it does not connect at all, i have waited until 15minutes and nothing. I have to go to settings , wifi, and wait in that screen a couple of seconds, the the phone connects.

I want to note, at work the wifi is NOT hidden and the phone stays connected though. So now i wonder, after reading the ithwr comments if, the oroblem is related to signal or the fact it is hidden at home, with this new versuon of iOS


@apple, please look into this, it is very anoying and for sure you will not pay back my data expenses right? :)

I spoke too soon. It seemed to have fixed the issue this morning but when I came back from work, it did the same old thing again.

Some are looking at their routers but I doubt that's the issue because it started with the upgrade AND it seems to be pretty much across the board.

I wonder if the same thing will happen at a public Wifi. So I have to reboot my phone each time I walk into a McDonalds or Starbucks?
We need a reply from Apple.

Ok, i just read an article on tuaw, this is the quoted text, it worked for me


"Put your phone into Airplane Mode. Then, go into Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then, reboot your router if you have access and take your phone out of Airplane Mode. You'll be prompted to join your network again, and it should work this time."
