Having Wi-Fi issues on your iPhone X? Whether your connection is slow, keeps dropping, or apps won’t open even with a stable signal — don’t worry, we’ve got you. Here’s how to fix the most common Wi-Fi problems on your iPhone X using simple, proven solutions.
Fix #1: iPhone X Has Slow Wi-Fi Speeds
The issue: Your Wi-Fi works fine on other devices, but your iPhone X is painfully slow — even basic web pages won’t load.
Try these steps:
1. Make sure you’re on the right Wi-Fi network
If you live near other Wi-Fi networks (like in an apartment), your iPhone might accidentally latch onto the wrong one. Double-check in Settings > Wi-Fi that you’re connected to your own network.
2. Check your router settings
Some routers limit bandwidth for certain devices. If you’re not sure how your router is set up, ask whoever manages your network or call your internet provider for help.
Fix #2: iPhone X Keeps Disconnecting from Wi-Fi
The issue: Your phone keeps jumping off Wi-Fi and using cellular data, even when you’re home and the signal is strong.
Here’s how to fix it:
1. Reset network settings
This wipes all saved networks and refreshes your network stack.
- Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset.
- Tap Reset Network Settings.
- Enter your passcode if prompted.
2. Turn on Auto-Join for your network
After resetting, you’ll need to reconnect to your Wi-Fi. Once you’re connected:
- Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
- Tap the (i) next to your network.
- Make sure Auto-Join is turned on.
3. Factory reset your iPhone (only if needed)
If nothing else works and Wi-Fi issues continue:
- Backup your phone first.
- Then go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings.
Fix #3: Apps Won’t Open After iOS Update or No Wi-Fi
The issue: Apps not built into the phone won’t open at all, even after a recent software update and restoring Wi-Fi access.
What to do:
1. Delete and reinstall the apps
- Tap and hold the app icon.
- Tap Remove App, then Delete App.
- Go to the App Store, search for the app, and reinstall it.
2. Reset all settings
This won’t erase your data, but it will reset all your preferences and might clear up glitches.
- Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset.
- Tap Reset All Settings.
- Enter your passcode if prompted and confirm.
3. Still not working? Contact the app developer
Some apps may not be updated for the latest iOS version. Visit the app’s page on the App Store and tap App Support to reach the developer directly.
