WiFi keeps disconnecting on iPhone 6S

[jas9]

Until a few days ago, the phone was fine. For a few days now, I am having this issue that WiFi keeps dropping (keeps disconnecting). I have to go to Settings > WiFi and look at that wheel thing spin until it finds the WiFi again and connects it. A few minutes later, it drops it again. I have tried it with two separate WiFi connection - same issue. The same WiFis are used on other phones and laptops in the house and no one has any issue. The same WiFis were used on this phone and there was no issue until about a few day ago. Sometimes it stays connected for hours, sometimes it stays connected only for a few minutes before dropping. I haven't messed with any settings. When the issue started, I was still on iOS 11.xx. After a few days of issue, I thought maybe upgrading to iOS 12 will fix the problem. So I upgraded and now its been a few days and the problem hasn't gone away.

What should I do?

Try “Reset Network Settings”

Settings > General > Reset

You will have to re-enter all WiFi passwords.

You can try rebooting your router before doing that, but not sure that will do anything if no other devices are having an issue staying connected to it.

Thanks, I did this. And it fixed the problem for about 80% of the time. Connection is still dropping but it has gotten better at least 80%. Good enough still. Something might be wrong with the hardware of the phone as no other device in the house is having this issue. But still I'll take the 80% improvement. Thanks!

Have you tried restoring the phone with a fresh download of iOS 12 via iTunes?
