iPhone 12 no longer connects to WiFi with hidden SSID ?

[drsox]

As the title says.

Has just started to happen after a month or so in operation w/o problems ?
Also happens on the second iPhone 12 that I have ?

Doesn't happen on either of the 2020 MacBook Airs.

Corrects itself if I turn the SSID name broadcast back on again (WiFi is a Ubiquiti Amplifi Mesh).
Anyone else seen this ?
Cheers

Any reason you’re hiding your SSID? Might be simpler to just leave it visible.
Alternatively, might be worth rebooting your phone or resetting the network settings and seeing if that helps.

Apple's recommended router settings. Don't hide the SSID

I guess I'll have to live with a broadcast SSID -- but it bugs me that I can't find the cause of the change. I've tried as many combinations as I can but to no avail. I'm missing an alternative WiFi router that hides the SSID so I can't check if the cause is the router rather than the iPhone(s). Both iPhone 12s are affected but the previous iPhones (XR & 2020SE weren't). So still a mystery.

Thanks both.
