iPhone WiFi keeps dropping or disconnecting
Your iPhone is losing WiFi due to a corrupted saved network or a setting called WiFi Assist switching you off. Forget the network and reconnect from scratch. This fixes it. If that doesn't work, turn off WiFi Assist in Settings.
Your iPhone keeps dropping WiFi because of a corrupted saved network setting, WiFi Assist automatically switching you to cellular, or your router dropping connections. Forgetting the network and reconnecting clears corrupted settings. Turning off WiFi Assist stops the automatic switching.
