Easily connect your iPhone to a Wi-Fi network with just a few taps on the screen. Once connected, you can choose to automatically join Wi-Fi networks within range. But what happens if, for some reason, you need to forget about the network?
Fortunately, forgetting a Wi-Fi network is as easy as joining a Wi-Fi network. This article describes the steps to forget the Wi-Fi network on your device.
Why forget the iPhone network?
You might want to forget about the web on your iPhone for a number of reasons. One of the most common is that the Internet is not working properly. In this case, disconnecting and reconnecting might fix the problem.
If you've changed Wi-Fi providers or are about to upgrade your router, you may also want to forget about your current network before these changes take effect. The same is true if you're moving out of the area, not coming back, and not keeping your existing Internet service.
For security reasons, some users may also want to forget the Wi-Fi network. Some public networks threaten privacy and security, and if your iPhone automatically connects without your knowledge, the chance of something going wrong increases.

How to rejoin a forgotten Wi-Fi network
If you want to rejoin a forgotten Wi-Fi network on your iPhone, it's easy to do so. Just because you forgot about the web earlier doesn't mean you'll be banned forever.
. Once your iPhone is within range, go back to Settings -> Wi-Fi.
. In the list of networks displayed, click the network you want to join.
If the network does not have a password, you will join immediately. But if so, you need to enter this information and click "Join".
If you need to enter a password and the details are correct, you should connect as soon as you click join.
Forgetting a network on your iPhone is as easy as connecting it
While automatically connecting to your home or office Wi-Fi is convenient, you probably don't want to have your phone join every network without your permission. Fortunately, forgetting the network from your iPhone is an easy process.
If you have forgotten your network because the Internet is not working, consider resetting your router and waiting a few minutes. If you're concerned about security, it's wise to consider whether to trust a particular public Wi-Fi network.
