Apple has announced that the upcoming iOS 17.2 update will address several Wi-Fi connection issues on iPhones running iOS 17.
Since the launch of iOS 17 in early September, some iPhone users have reported troublesome difficulties with their devices’ Wi-Fi connectivity.
Specifically, some iPhone owners have experienced unreliable connections to Wi-Fi networks.
The connection problems have caused interruptions in internet-dependent applications, leading to failures in content loading.
What’s especially frustrating is that these issues appear to be unique to the affected devices, with all other devices on the same network remaining stable.
Users have reported the problem affecting their ability to use internet-dependent applications, in some instances, affected devices automatically reconnect to the network after a brief interruption.
Alternatively, users could manually disable and re-enable the connection to restore service, it has also been noted that the Wi-Fi speed on the affected devices has been slower compared to the pre-iOS 17 upgrade.
In a statement given to the technical news website iClarified, Apple assured users that the forthcoming iOS 17.2 update would resolve all the Wi-Fi connection issues reported by some users.
The company did not reveal additional details about the problem or its extent among users but confirmed that a fix would be included in the next update.
The iOS 17.2 update is expected to be released before the end of the current year and is currently in the beta testing phase.
In addition to Wi-Fi issue fixes, the iOS 17.2 update is set to bring several new features, these include the new Journal app for journaling and the ability for users to collaborate on creating and editing playlists within the Apple Music app.
The update will also introduce translation capabilities in the action button for iPhone 15 Pro users, along with a range of new widgets for weather, clock, and more.
The iOS 17.2 update promises to be a significant enhancement for iPhone users, addressing frustrating connectivity issues and providing a much-improved overall experience.
