How do I turn on Wi-Fi when it's grayed out on my iPhone?

Hi Cpotter2093,

If your Wi-Fi option is grayed out and you’ve already tried resetting Network Settings and All Settings, here are a few additional steps to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Force Restart Your iPhone

Try a force restart to refresh the system:

• Press and quickly release the Volume Up button.

• Press and quickly release the Volume Down button.

• Press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo, then release.

Once your iPhone restarts, check if Wi-Fi is available again.

2. Check for VPN or Profiles

• Go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management

• If you see a VPN or profile installed, try removing it and restarting your iPhone.

3. Check for Low Power Mode

• If Low Power Mode is enabled (Settings > Battery), try turning it off and see if that restores Wi-Fi.

4. Reset Network Connections Manually

• Put your iPhone in Airplane Mode for about 30 seconds, then turn it off.

• Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and see if the option is available again.

5. Check for Overheating or Hardware Issues

• If your iPhone recently got very hot, Wi-Fi may temporarily disable to protect the hardware. Let it cool down and check again.

• If the issue persists and none of the above solutions work, you may need to contact Apple Support for a possible hardware inspection.

Let me know if any of these steps help!
