How to Delete Saved Wi-Fi Networks on iPhone 13

If your iPhone 13 keeps switching between Wi-Fi networks or you’re running into random connection issues, clearing out saved Wi-Fi networks might help. iOS stores every network you’ve connected to before, and sometimes having too many saved can create conflicts—especially if you’re near multiple known networks.

Here’s how to remove saved Wi-Fi networks from your iPhone 13, whether you want to delete one or wipe them all.


Forget a Single Wi-Fi Network

If you only want to remove one specific network from your iPhone’s memory:

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap Wi-Fi.
  3. Under My Networks, find the Wi-Fi network you want to delete.
  4. Tap the (i) icon next to the network name.
  5. Tap Forget This Network.
  6. Confirm by tapping Forget in the popup.

Your iPhone will no longer auto-connect to that network. To join it again, you’ll need to re-enter the password.


What to Do If the Network Still Shows Up

Sometimes a forgotten network may still appear under My Networks due to caching glitches. If that happens:

  • Turn Wi-Fi off (in Settings or Control Center).
  • Wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
  • Your iPhone will rescan, and the forgotten network should now show under Other Networks, not My Networks.

Remove All Saved Wi-Fi Networks by Resetting Network Settings

Want to delete every saved Wi-Fi network at once? You can reset all network settings. This also clears paired Bluetooth devices, VPN settings, and cellular configurations—so use it with caution.

Here’s how:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap General.
  3. Scroll down and select Transfer or Reset iPhone.
  4. Tap Reset.
  5. Choose Reset Network Settings.
  6. Enter your passcode if prompted and confirm.

After this, your iPhone will restart and all saved Wi-Fi networks will be erased. You’ll need to manually reconnect and re-enter passwords afterward.
