Does the iPhone not auto connecting to your Home/Office Wi-Fi? One of the advantages of using Wi-Fi is that your iPhone does automatically connect to it when you are in the proximity of the router. But some users have complained that the Wi-Fi is not auto-connecting on their device. There is a sound reason behind this problem and you can fix that using these solutions.
Fix 1 – Enable the Auto-Join option
Your iPhone won’t connect to the Wi-Fi automatically if the ‘Auto Join’ function is not enabled.
Step 1 – To do this, go to iPhone Settings.
Step 2 – On the home page, tap the “Wi-Fi” panel.
Step 3 – On the Wi-Fi page, look for the Wi-Fi that is not connecting automatically. Tap the “ℹ” button there.
Step 4 – Scroll down and enable the “Auto Join” function from there.
Once you have enabled this ‘Auto Join’ function for the Wi-Fi, the problem will be solved.
Your iPhone shall get connected to the Wi-Fi automatically.
Fix 2 – Refresh the Wi-Fi service
If the first solution doesn’t fix your problem, you should refresh the Wi-Fi service.
Step 1 – Open the Control Center.
Step 2 – Tap the “Wi-Fi” toggle to turn off the Wi-Fi service.
Step 3 – Wait for a few seconds.
Step 4 – Then, turn on the “Wi-Fi” option on your iPhone.
This should refresh the Wi-Fi service on your iPhone. Check whether it is auto-connecting or not.
Fix 3 – Turn off the Bluetooth
Sometimes, if you are using too many Bluetooth devices in the proximity of the iPhone, your device won’t be able to connect to the Wi-Fi.
So, we recommend you turn off all the Bluetooth peripherals in your nearest proximity. After turning them off, disable the Bluetooth on your iPhone. See if this time you can connect to your Wi-Fi automatically, or you have to step in to do that.
Fix 4 – Forget the Wi-Fi connection and rejoin
The best fix in this case is to forget the Wi-Fi connection and rejoin the network.
Step 1 – On your iPhone, open up the Settings.
Step 2 – Next, tap the Wi-Fi settings to load it up.
Step 3 – On the Wi-Fi page, touch “ℹ” button there.
Step 4 – After opening it up, tap the “Forget This Network” option.
Step 5 – After forgetting the network, get to the same Wi-Fi page.
Step 6 – Tap the Wi-Fi name to open it up.
Step 7 – Provide the correct password there and tap the “Join” button to join the network.
Step 8 – Tap the “ℹ” button beside the Wi-Fi once more.
Step 4 – Scroll down and enable the “Auto Join” function from there.
This should fix the auto joining issue of the network on your iPhone.
Fix 5 – Reset the network credentials
You must reset the network components on your iPhone.
Step 1 – To do this, load up the Settings page.
Step 2 – Next, go to the “General” panel in there.
Step 3 – After this, open up the “Transfer or reset iPhone” option.
Step 4 – Choose the “Reset” option.
Step 5 – Next, tap the “Reset Network Settings” to reset the network.
Once the process is complete, you have to log in to the Wi-Fi for one more time. Later, you will be connected to the network automatically.
Hope these fixes have worked out for you!
