How To Get My Wifi On Iphone

Connect iPhone to the internet

Connect your iPhone to the internet by using an available Wi-Fi or cellular network.

Connect iPhone to a Wi-Fi network

Go to Settings > Wi-Fi, then turn on Wi-Fi.
Tap one of the following:
- A network: Enter the password, if required.
- Other: Joins a hidden network. Enter the name of the hidden network, security type, and password.

If appears at the top of the screen, iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi network. (To verify this, open Safari to view a webpage.) iPhone reconnects when you return to the same location.

Join a Personal Hotspot

If an iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) or another iPhone is sharing a Personal Hotspot, you can use its cellular internet connection.

Go to Settings > Wi-Fi, then choose the name of the device sharing the Personal Hotspot.

If asked for a password on your iPhone, enter the password shown in Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot on the device sharing the Personal Hotspot.

Connect iPhone to a cellular network

Your iPhone automatically connects to your carrierʼs cellular data network if a Wi-Fi network isnʼt available. If iPhone doesn't connect, check the following:

Verify that your SIM is activated and unlocked. See Set up cellular service on iPhone.
Go to Settings > Cellular.
Verify that Cellular Data is turned on. On models with Dual SIM, tap Cellular Data, then verify the selected line. (You can choose only one line for cellular data.)

When you need an internet connection, iPhone does the following, in order, until the connection is made:

Tries to connect to the most recently used available Wi-Fi network
Shows a list of Wi-Fi networks in range and connects to the one you choose
Connects to your carrier's cellular data network

On an iPhone that supports 5G, iPhone may use your 5G cellular data instead of Wi-Fi. If so, you see Using 5G Cellular For Internet below the Wi-Fi network's name. To switch back to Wi-Fi, tap next to the network name, then tap Use Wi-Fi for Internet.

Note: If a Wi-Fi connection to the internet isn't available, apps and services may transfer data over your carrier's cellular network, which may result in additional fees. Contact your carrier for information about your cellular data plan rates. To manage cellular data usage, see View or change cellular data settings on iPhone.
