Does anyone else have a problem with wifi on their iphone? (lemmy.wtf)

I have iphone 16 pro with latest ios (26.3.1) and i usualy have both wifi and 4g turned on all the time. So i expect that it will connect to my home wifi and when i get out it will automaticly disconect and stay on 4g. Which works fine but the problem is when i get back home it doesnt connect to wi fi but spends my MB of 4g and after quiet some time it decides to connect to wifi..

Also when i go to work which is besides my house it doesnt automaticly switch to work wifi with stronger signal, but stays on my home wifi which can bearly reach… Wtf apple???

And this is not new isue, i had same problem with previous iphone in previous house and so on… Wifi just sucks on iphones for some reason..

iPhones are really sticky about roaming unfortunately. Makes multi AP networks a bit of a pain. Turn down the power on your home wifi if it’s reasonable.

Conversely, it’s odd behaviour to not join the network the first time you pick it up when you’re home. Turn off wifi assist; it may help.

This is unfortunate because I was looking to upgrade soon due to the wifi on my current iPhone being rubbish. Apple must just suck at wifi radios/firmware.

Yea have no idea how they managed to fuckup basic funcionality like wifi connection… Dont remember having any problems on android phones back when i used them..
