Troubleshooting iPhone WiFi:


Start Here: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t Connect to a Wi-Fi Network - Apple Support


Other Thoughts:

A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

Try clearing out your Temporary Internet FilesHistoryCache, and CookiesGo Here: Clear your Safari browser history and set up content blockers on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


B. Disable Cellular:

Try disabling Cellular, and using Wi-Fi instead, seeing if that makes all the difference.


C. Try manually restarting your iPhone:

  1. Go To: Settings
  2. Select: General
  3. Scroll to: the Very Bottom
  4. Select: Shut Down
  5. Slide Finger: to the Right
  6. Wait: 30 Seconds
  7. Power One: the iPhone
  8. Try this Once More

If your Wi-Fi section is greyed out and you cannot choose it AND you have tried everything that you have mentioned in the post, then I recommend that you have your iPhone examined at the Apple Store or at an Authorized Service Center. You may also begin with contacting ➔ Apple Support

If you have a vpn installed fully remove the vpn profile (or deleting the vpn app will do this also) and see if you can connect to Wi-Fi then if you don’t have a vpn at all installed on the phone may need to try to restore the phone using a computer. If you do the restore don’t recover from a backup during set up choose don’t transfer apps and data but you can sign in with your Apple ID.
