Spinning wheel next to WiFi on iPhone

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!

Ok here is the solution.....


Technical Fix for outstanding iOS 11 bug...


Ok I’m not that big on all the changes in IOS 11 for iPhone. I had the continuous data spinning wheel issue that would not go away.


THERE IS ONLY ONE RESOLVE FOR THIS ISSUE.


You must do a forced restart. (I have the big boy 7 plus)


Simultaneously push n hold side lock key (right side button) while depressing volume down key (left side, bottom button) for up to 10 seconds.


Give it time to power down and then turn it back on.



Issue should be fixed.
