I can't connect to the internet like I normally do.
Started after 14.5 and now again with 14.5.1.
The only way I can use Safari is to turn off the WiFi on the phone and go online using the cellular connection.
Is this something that is known? Anyone else having this problem?
I'm on Xs-Max.

Thanks
 
I’m seeing that, sometimes WiFi off and then on again helps, but sometimes I have to open another tab or force quit safari for it to start working, which to me shows it’s more of a safari issue than a connectivity issue.
 
Have you tried to reset network connections?

Yeah I tried that and it made no difference.
Maybe I'll do it again but it doesn't seem to be the issue.

By the way this network connection problem is also happening in Spotify.
 
It's on all wifi that I connect to.
So if I'm at a local coffee shop and connect to their wifi everything is ok for the first minute then suddenly nothing at all. Zero. All safari pages can't be accessed and there is no connection.
Only way to fix it is to turn off the wifi and use the cell connection.

Worst part is that I often can't connect to the internet when I'm not on any wifi.
I'm out and about and need to use the phone and it will not function unless I turn off the wifi and use the cell connection.
Something the phone never had any problems with before 14.5.
