How To Reset Network Settings on iPhone 13

The network settings reset is among the most effective solutions in fixing connection issues with your iPhone 13, or any iPhone for that matter.

The good thing about such a procedure is that you don’t need to create a backup of your important files and data as they will not be deleted.

So basically, resetting the network settings is safe for your stuff and effective in fixing almost all issues with network or wireless services.

What Network Settings Reset covers

While it is often used in fixing Wi-Fi issues, such a procedure can actually be used in fixing problems with Bluetooth and Mobile data, and any feature that uses Internet.

So if you’re having issues connecting or pairing a Bluetooth device with your iPhone 13, what you need to do first is to make sure both devices are in pairing mode.

Then try refreshing their memories by rebooting them. After doing the basic troubleshooting and your devices are still not able to connect with each other, then that’s the time you reset iPhone network settings.

For cellular data issues, first you have to make sure that your iPhone is receiving good signal from the tower. You can do this by checking on the signal indicator at the top of the screen.

Assuming your Apple iPhone 13 has good reception and that your account is still in good standing, then you can do the network settings reset to fix the problem.

What it does is reset the Access Point Name (APN) and bring it back to default settings.

And that’s pretty much it.
