iOS 16.1 is causing random Wi-Fi outages for some iPhone users. Users have reported that their iPhone disconnects from Wi-Fi intermittently and at random times after updating to iOS 16.1. Complaints began to appear on the Reddit forum, on Twitter (1, 2, 3, 4) and the Apple support community.

Users complain that their iPhone periodically and sometimes randomly turns off during the day despite no change in their surroundings. Other users say that their iPhone sometimes disconnects from Wi-Fi when their device is idle, such as at night. Some users have tried resetting the network settings on their iPhones, but the reset has proven to be ineffective.
iOS 16.1 was released last week and is the first major update to the iOS 16 operating system since it was released in September. iOS 16.1 has many new features, including interactive Live Activities.
This week, Apple began beta testing iOS 16.2, the next major update to the operating system, which is expected to be released in late November. It’s not yet clear if Apple plans to release an interim update that could fix the Wi-Fi bug and other issues users are experiencing.
