Since i have update my iPhone 12pro to iOS 16.0.2, i am unable to connect to my office's wifi. It is pertinent to mention that SSID is hidden and every time i need to connect to this SSID, i just simply need to put the SSID and password by usiung the "other" option, though these credentials have already been saved and can be viewed in Settings-->Wi-Fi-->Edit.
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

Troubleshooting iPad WiFi:
A. Delete a VPN:
A VPN is a common a culprit. So, disconnect from it, unless required for work, school, and such.
B. Start Here: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t Connect to a Wi-Fi Network - Apple Support
C. Clear Temporary Internet Files:
If Wifi is disconnecting, try clearing out your Temporary Internet Files: History, Cache, and Cookies. Go Here: Clear your Safari Browser History and Set Up Content Blockers on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
D. Report this to Apple:
Did you just update your device?
Do your part: Let Apple know what is going on here. Provide them with feedback on this. They may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they received on this, the more they will know what is going on, and what needs to be fixed in updates to come.

I would delete them from the list, or preferably reset network settings.
If you have an app store VPN (ie one not provided by your employer) remove it and its profile in Settings, General, VPN & device mgmt
The third action would be to reset a home office router to factory settings but you could ask your employer admin to remove your records of connection, or display the SSID (a weak form of security anyway)
My Office Network Admin (myself) has reset the router to factory default and after its configuration, hidden SSID again but the same problem persists.
SSID can’t be displayed publicly due to official restrictions.
How can one report this problem to Apple to get a Fix in the next Update?

Connecting to a Hidden Network:
A. Use the Correct Protocol:
Be certain when you enter the password that you are connecting using the correct protocol.
B. Talk to the Network Administrator:
If you cannot connect, the contact the Network Administrator. They may be able to assist in this.
There is no VPN installed. Done with the "ReSet NetworkSettings", but still it's not useful. The issue still persists.
"....SSID can’t be displayed publicly due to official restrictions...."
Why? where do you live out of interest? Hiding SSID is pointless
In Pakistan.
Hiding SSID is none of your concern. Every one / Every Office / Organization has its own restrictions.
We gotta stick with the problem.
Ok in that case your problem is none of my concern either, Good bye and good luck.
iOS 16.0.2 - Hidden Wifi SSIDs ain't being connected when avaliable.
