iPhone Cellular and Wi-Fi disappear on home screen

Hi,


I have a problem on my iPhone 13, and I am not happy with it.


When I exit any app I have installed on my iPhone, my Wi-Fi and cellular bars disappear. I am not sure if this is normal for iPhones.


This is annoying me because it has never done this to me in iOS 16. If this is a feature, please remove it.


Thank you.

iPhone 13, iOS 17

Hello noahtechwizard,  

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.  


This does not seem like expected behavior. Does this happen with every Wi-Fi network that you connect with?


Please start with these troubleshooting steps for cellular data issues: If you see No Service, Searching, or SOS on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


You’ll want to back up and update your iOS software and carrier settings, check your network and iPhone settings, or contact your carrier for more support. 


All the best!
