Hello:
Since I have updated to iOS 11; my phone constantly has the "spinning wheel" issue. My background app refresh is off along with location services. It even spins when connected to Wifi. Does anyone else have this issue? Any help is greatly appreciated since this draining my battery quickly!

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11
Same issue and always happens after using dictation. I tried resetting the network preferences but it came back. Rebooting the phone will stop it until I use dictation and I always use dictation.
The best solution that I have found is to hold the home button down and ask Siri a question. Once she starts responding to the question the activity wheel stops spinning! It will start spinning again eventually, but it's better than rebooting the phone each time.
I logged the problem with Apple as a bug and told them about Siri temporarily fixing it for me.
This worked for me, thank you 🙂
They have got to fix this bug! I hate to type and use the microphone all the time.

Just followed your instructions for my new 8 and it worked like a charm, thanks much 👍
I have the iPhone 8 Plus on Verizon using iOS version 11.4(15F79) and I still have the spinning wheel, so it doesn’t seem specific to phone model.
Wheel sometime wifi contection not auto.
Same issue with iPhone 6 and Congstar.
Fixed (up to now) by pressing sleep/ wake button to switch off, waiting some minutes, pressing sleep/ wake button to switch on again.
I don't know wether it resolves the problem permanently.
Hi I am having the same issues, updated my software, nothing running, and the spinning wheel in the top left just doesn't stop. I have done all the reboots, and even wiped the phone and did a full restore.
Since I posted this thread; I did a full restore. I did a clean install of everything and the issue has been fixed. However, iOS 11 is very buggy and cumbersome to use IMOP. The latest issue I am having is when someone calls me; I use to be able to silence the ringer by pushing in the power button. This now declines the call. This has changed since 11.0.1 has rolled out. Is there a way to change this?
Same issue here and whoever said it’s a small # of people-how would they know?! I did a forced restart and it seems to work but 24 hours later it’s back. Yeah I need to upgrade this phone but with garbage like this am re-thinking the $800+ spend.

Just read on another forum to activate Siri. Strangely, this worked.
Apparently it is a widespread bug...updating to IOS 11.0.2 didn't fix it.
It is neither widespread nor a bug. It's a problem that some users are experiencing.
Philly it is a bug and it is widespread. Stop acting like you know it all. Just because YOU aren’t experiencing the problem doesn’t mean it isn’t one. It’s an obvious glitch in the new iOS people are having. I have had an iPhone since 2010 when he iPhone 4 came out. I’ve had EVERY iOS since then and every update as well as many different model iPhones since then. I’ve NEVER had this issue with any iOS or any phone, until I upgraded to iOS 11. So one you are wrong, and two don’t give people bad info saying it isn’t a bug or glitch or whatever you want to call it.
Iphone 8plus on VZW. Spinning wheel started yesterday. Restetting the network fixed it for a day then came back. the problem with that is it clears all your saved wifi passwords. Haven't tried the siri trick yet.
Spinning wheel next to WiFi on iPhone
