According to MacRumors, a number of users on Reddit, Twitter, and Apple’s support community forums have reported that their iPhones regularly disconnect from Wi-Fi after updating to iOS 16.1, sometimes randomly.
According to user feedback, their iPhones periodically disconnect throughout the day, sometimes at random, even though their environment has not changed.
In addition, some users have reported that their iPhone sometimes disconnects from Wi-Fi when the phone is in standby mode at night. Some users have tried resetting all of the iPhone’s network settings, but the reset doesn’t seem to work.
The iOS 16.1 was released last week and is the first major update to the iOS 16 operating system since its release in September. iOS 16.1 brings several new features to iPhone users, including real-time activity.
This week, Apple began beta testing iOS 16.2, which is expected to be released later in November. It’s unclear if Apple plans to release an interim update to address Wi-Fi bugs and other issues users are experiencing.
