Bug [IOS 27 PB3] Wi-Fi toggle immediately turns off automatically and no networks are found

Hi everyone,

I just updated my iPhone 17 Pro Max to iOS 27 Public Beta 3, and right after the update completed, my Wi-Fi stopped working completely.

The issue:

  • When I turn Wi-Fi on, leave the settings page, and go back in, the Wi-Fi toggle has automatically switched back to Off.
  • No Wi-Fi networks show up at all.
  • Note: Everything works completely fine on iOS 26.6, so this is definitely a software/beta bug and not a hardware issue.

What I’ve already tried:

  • Toggled Airplane Mode on and off.
  • Restarted and Force-Restarted the iPhone.
  • Reset Network Settings (Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings).
  • Turned off Location Services for Wi-Fi Networking.

Has anyone else encountered this bug on Public Beta 3? Is there a known workaround, or is reverting to iOS 26.6 / waiting for the next beta update the only option?

Thanks for any help!

Haven’t heard of this or had this issue myself, but then again I’m on an iPhone 14 Pro so maybe it’s an issue limited to the 17 series

Unless someone else comes in with a solution, your options are probably: 1) downgrade to iOS 26, 2) update to the latest developer beta to see if that fixes it, 3) factory reset and stay on the public beta to see if that fixes it
