Public WiFi

I can’t log on to public wifi because the phone will not automatically take me to the login page - been trying to work out what is wrong for a couple of years but now with increased travel am finding it a real pain.

See this Apple article: Use captive Wi-Fi networks on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

Use captive Wi-Fi networks on your iPhone or iPad – Apple Support (UK)


Nowadays, Public Wi-Fi is offered for free, in big cities, shopping centers, in Public Transport (bus & train), airport, restaurants and others.

That depends on where you live and where you are.

If you are in a hotel, ask the hotel for a username & password to log in to their Wi-Fi.

Worked it out - did a complete phone reset which deleted my access to my work emails in outlook - the settings linked to the business VPN wouldn’t allow the device to access public (shared) wifi … everything works now … I don’t have the same issue with an older iPhone - so will carry 2 phones until I can work out the best way forward
