How To Fix Apple iPhone 11 Network Issue

Some owners have been complaining about iPhone 11 network issue wherein their device reportedly keeps losing signal. As a result, they can no longer send or receive text messages, or make and receive phone calls. This is a very frustrating problem if not taken care of immediately. 

But the thing is, this issue is seemingly not common because after the iOS 13.2 update, what most of the users were complaining about was that many of the apps in the background are killed by the system. Nonetheless, it’s a problem that needs to be addressed, although it could be just a minor one. 

What to do if your iPhone 11 Network Issue

From checking cellular data settings to resetting network settings and updating iOS, we explore potential causes of network issues on the iPhone 11 and offer step-by-step instructions to address them. Whether it’s poor signal strength, incorrect network settings, or software-related factors, we cover a range of possible solutions. By implementing the recommended troubleshooting steps outlined in this section, you’ll be able to diagnose and resolve the network issue on your iPhone 11, ensuring seamless connectivity and uninterrupted access to cellular data and Wi-Fi networks.

First solution: Perform the Forced Restart

If this is the first time that you encountered this problem, then it’s probably just due to a pretty minor system glitch. You must begin your troubleshooting by doing the forced restart. It’s a simulated battery removal that refreshes your device’s memory and reload its apps and services. Here’s how it’s done: 

  1. Quickly press and release the Volume Up button, and then the Volume Down button.
  2. The moment you release the volume down button, press and hold the Side or Power key for 15 seconds or until the Apple logo shows on the screen. 

Once your iPhone has successfully rebooted, continue using it as you normally do to know if it still keeps losing signal. If it still does, then move on to the next solution.

Second solution: Reset the network settings of your iPhone 11

Most of the time, if a network issue occurs without apparent reason or cause, some of the network services in your phone may have crashed or stopped working. You need to refresh those services by simply resetting all the network settings. Don’t worry, this procedure won’t delete any of your files and data. Here’s how it’s done:

Third solution: Factory reset your iPhone that keeps losing signal

At this point, a factory reset would be necessary. This will rule out the possibility that this is just one of those firmware issues that affected some services. This is also your last resort and if your iPhone still keeps losing signal after this, then you should have it checked. 

But prior to the reset, make sure to backup your important files and data so that you won’t lose any of your files. After the backup, follow these steps to reset your iPhone:

  7. Tap Erase iPhone at the bottom of the screen.  
  8. Tap Erase iPhone again to proceed.  
  9. Now enter your Apple ID password, and then tap Erase to proceed with the reset. 
  10. Wait until your iPhone has finished the reset, and then set it up as a new device. 

After doing the reset, try to see if your iPhone 11 still keeps losing signal because if it does, then you should set up an appointment at the Genius Bar so that an Apple tech can check the device for you.
