I got the iphone 8 plus about three weeks ago and since the day I got it I noticed it would constantly disconnect from wi-fi as soon as I locked my phone. After spending 3 hours on the phone with an apple rep. Who had me reset my phone, my router, and connect to itunes for software I still had the same problem. Today while trying to connect to wi-fi I accidentally clicked the i on the right side and realized there’s an auto join button which was off. I clicked it on and my problem was fixed!!! I have not disconnected from wi-fi. I even left my house and it joined automatically when I got back.
Again. There is nothing to "fix". It's not broken. It's doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
I'f it's working exactly like it's supposed to, how do we disable this feature. My phone only has wifi calling at my house and I can't have it disconnecting from wifi just because I lock my phone.
You don't disable it. That's the way it works. If you don't get decent coverage in your house, then maybe you should consider switching to a carrier with better coverage.
Here I was thinking you might have some insight that was actually helpful. Clearly I was wrong.
Please provide a support documentation for your claim!
As an end user from Apple it is our right to have a support documentation for a claim or a particular feature!
No. It's not related to a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory.
I am having the same prob
Yes my problem is fixed. I no longer disconnect from wi-fi and it automatically connects when I arrive at home.
I have the “auto-join” I think you need to be connected to wi-fi for it to pop up. Hope this helps I know how frustrating it is
The only option that I have in the "i" menu is on and it stills disconnect when locked.
Do you mind sharing a screen shoot of that option? Thanks.
May I ask you if you have DSL/ADSL provider or is it a public network that requires a login? I don’t have that option due to fiber > router > Wifi
Sorry for the confusion, the network settings of your iPhone I meant in my resolution reply.
There is nothing related to the ISP or internet point of connection!!
I understand. But why don’t I have that option? I think not everyone has it, and I’m teying to understand why.
Hmmm..
This is strange!!
can you verify it again, use the below link to see the picture!
