How can I stop my iPhone Wi-Fi from disconnecting?

My phone and my husbands phone keeps dropping the WiFi when we put the phone down . It’s fine when I’m using it but when I go back to it I have to select the network and re enter the password . This is happening all day long ..

It's normal for Wifi to disconnect when the phone is locked, unless it is connected to power as in charging. What is not normal is having to reenter passwords to get back into whatever network you are connected to. Open the Settings App > Wifi > Ask to Join Networks - what is checked there?


Finally, do you or your husband use a VPN on your iPhone? If you do and you aren't required by your employer or school to have one, DUMP IT. Don't just turn it off, go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management and remove the VPN profile. They aren't needed on iPhone and don't provide the security people think they do.
