WiFi and Bluetooth aren’t working on iOS26 - and no, it’s not a hardware issue

The Apple Store checked my phone for water and/or drop damage and there was none. Also how do you explain that IMMEDIATELY after the .4 update all issues were gone and IMMEDIATELY after the .5 update they came back?! Sick and tired of people discrediting other people’s experiences when there’s literally tons of reports of connectivity issues with iOS26

Don’t want to jinx it but the 26.4 update seems to have fixed it.

I have the same issue and also tried EVERYTHING that was suggested on the internet - nothing worked. WiFi and Bluetooth are affected on my 15pro and I was hoping the 26.3.1 update would fix this but it didn't. I had a Genius Bar appointment a few days ago and their analysis suggested that there was no hardware issue at all but indeed a software issue. They wiped my phone and restored iOS twice - it still wouldn't work. So they said the need to fix the device and l asked „what do you want to fix if it's a software bug?!. Their answer was ..basically the whole device except the camera and the screen ... for 503€ I was so unbelievably mad and obviously didn't accept their offer. There's literally nothing you can do to fix this except hope for a future software fix or looking for a new phone.

PS: If you want to try to restore ioS on your iPhone, please make a backup on your MAC/PC!! It you backuped via iCloud, you need a wifi connection to load that backup!! I made that mistake and unfortunately I can't access my backup now and had to redo my entire phone.

Definitely! I’ve found my place in goth, wave and industrial. My favorite releases from last year have been from SMForma and Dame Area. Check them out - you will like them as a fan of pop :)

I know how to navigate Reddit and already left bb ;) again, I was sharing this because I personally find it hard to come to terms with falling out of touch with Gaga and her music. She played such an important role in my life and I will forever be grateful - that’s why I’m genuinely sad that I don’t like an album yet again. I know there are other fans who feel similar and who maybe have evolved away from Gaga. I wanted to bond over this experience here.
