  1. Go to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Service).
  2. Turn off Cellular Data or Mobile Data.

To manually restart your iPhone:

  1. Go to Settings > General
  2. Scroll to the very bottom and tap "Shut Down"
    3. Restarting iPhone Process
  3. Wait for 30 seconds
  4. Power on your iPhone
  5. Try your internet connection again

3. Resetting Network Settings

If the two methods above didn’t work, perhaps you can try resetting your network settings. This will also reset Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you’ve used before.

Examples of items that will be reset include Wi-Fi passwords, VPN connections, etc.

To reset network settings:

  1. Go to Settings > General

4. Checking VPN Connections

Are you connected to a VPN? Sometimes, when your phone automatically connects to a VPN and the VPN fails to connect you to a server, this problem can occur too.

To see if the VPN is the culprit, turn the VPN off and then try connecting to the internet again.

5. Restarting Your Router

If none of the above methods work, the issue might not be with your iPhone, but with the router it’s connected to. Try turning off Wi-Fi on your phone, then restart your router. Afterwards, reconnect your iPhone to the router’s Wi-Fi to see if the problem persists.

Additionally, consider boosting your router’s Wi-Fi signal.
