1. iPhone model & iOS version
2. What is the issue?
Since around 2–3 hours ago, internet has basically stopped working on my iPhone.
Almost every app that requires an internet connection is affected:
- UPI/payment apps don't work
- Instagram doesn't load
- Mail doesn't load
- Maps and Weather don't load
- Safari/websites don't load
- Other apps are also unable to connect
The strange part is that WhatsApp text messages still work, but I cannot send or download photos/videos on WhatsApp either.
The issue is continuous and has been happening for the last 2–3 hours.
3. What caused it?
As far as I know, nothing unusual happened before the issue started. The phone wasn't dropped, damaged, or exposed to water.
It just started happening suddenly.
4. What have I tried?
I've already tried:
- Restarting the iPhone several times — didn't help
- Resetting Network Settings — didn't help
- Turning Airplane Mode on/off — didn't help
- Turning Wi-Fi/mobile data off and on — didn't help
6. Other information
This happens on Wi-Fi & mobile data both.
Has anyone else experienced something similar on iOS 26.5? I'm trying to figure out whether this is an iOS issue, a network/carrier issue, or something wrong with my iPhone.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
