Fix iPhone WiFi Connected But No Internet

The Problem: You see the WiFi symbol in the top corner, but Safari says "Not Connected to Internet" and apps won't load.

The Short Answer: Your iPhone has a local connection to the router, but the router isn't giving it internet access. This is often a DNS or lease issue.

Method 1: Forget This Network

Force the iPhone to request a new IP address.

1. Go to Settings > WiFi.
2. Tap the (i) icon next to your network.
3. Tap Forget This Network.
4. Reconnect and enter the password.

Method 2: Reset Network Settings

This deletes all saved WiFi passwords but fixes almost all connection bugs.

1. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone.
2. Tap Reset.
3. Select Reset Network Settings.
4. The phone will restart.

Method 3: Turn off VPN

If you have a VPN app, it might be blocked or crashed.

• Go to Settings.
• Toggle VPN to OFF.
