iPhone / iPad: Force network search - how it works
With a little trick you can force a network search on iPhone and iPad. If you are out of a deadlock, you can get your iDevice online faster.
Force network search on iPhone & iPad
In order for your iPhone or iPad to immediately search for available networks, you must briefly activate flight mode. In the meantime, the mobile data connection must be activated:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Switch to the "Mobile data" tab and activate the connection.
- Then tap on the slider next to "Airplane mode" to activate it (see picture).
- You can deactivate the flight mode again by tapping again.
- Now your iDevice is looking for available networks.
