iPhone Wifi get disconnected when screen locked

Hello Experts,


Need help, my iPhone is updated to latest software 16.0.3 version but still I’m facing issue when iPhone screen is locked the Wi-Fi gets disconnected and it’s showing offline to others and can’t get and receive any call message via WhatsApp or any app which uses internet.


Your’s useful comments will be appreciated.


Thanks & Regards:

That's completely normal. It's been that way since the very first iPhone was released in 2007. If the device is not connected to a power source, WiFi will power down when the phone is in standby to conserve battery power. Make sure the apps are allowed to use cellular data and the cellular data connection is not turned off.
