Is there a way to see network details in iPhone's iOS v15.7 (and soon v16)?

[Ant]

Hello,

Is there a way to see network details in iPhone's iOS v15.7 (and soon
v16)? Like DHCP times, renew, release, etc.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

go to settings>wifi and tap the i for the wifi network. you can see the
network info, configure dhcp (manual, automatic), renew the lease, etc.

Unlikely.

Look for an iOS app similar to IP Tools on Android
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ddm.iptools> but I
could not find one, and I doubt if Apple would allow such an app in
their App Store. And it doesn't keep track of renew or release, it just
shows the DHCP time that is set up in the router, which of course you
can see in the web page of the router setup.

If the op followed your advice & failed - what good is your advice?

[nospam]

better than yours.

it's been there for years.

i'd say since iphone os 1 but i don't have a device running that
anymore to confirm.

the earliest device here that currently has a charge is running ios 10
and there's a renew lease button, along with additional options,
including bootp and manual config, custom dns, http proxy and more.

[Hank Rogers]

I don't see it on an SE 2020 running ios 16.

[nospam]

In article <fMNUK.291393$SAT...@fx13.iad>, Hank Rogers

i don't have an ios 16 device handy at the moment to confirm, but i
*highly* doubt it's been removed given that it's rather important to
have available.

iPhone 12 iOS 15.7

There is no renew lease button, but there is a forget this network button.

Is it possible nospam will admit to bring wrong?

looks like it was removed in ios 15 for some unknown reason.

What is your iOS?

which device? :) i have a *lot* of them.

one drawback with ios development is being unable to 'dual boot' a
different os version as can be done with a mac or windows pc, so having
a bunch of devices for testing is required.

[badgolferman]

The screenshot you posted is obviously not iOS 15+. I’m surprised you have
something less than the most updated version.

as i said, i have a bunch of devices.

[Hank Rogers]

I guess I lied then.

[Hank Rogers]

I have that forget button, but that's about it.

Never, because he's never wrong, just like arlen.

[Hank Rogers]

No release option on my phone. Try again.

[Hank Rogers]

Neither do I.

[Hank Rogers]

Nospam has it, but it seems nobody else does. I'm beginning to
wonder if he actually has an iphone. May be like arlen.

I know he's right though, so I'll keep looking. Let us know if you
find it. I sure as hell can't find it.

[Hank Rogers]

Hell, that was a YEAR ago, wasn't it?

It's really misleading to try to answer questions based on your old
phones, isn't it? You shouldn't try, if you don't have the
operating system or iphone in question. At least you should not be
so adamant that you are never wrong. Sometimes you are wrong.

True for iOS 16 as well. What version of iOS did they remove the
additional features, if they ever existed?

> Is it possible nospam will admit to bring wrong?

No.

Its definitely not in iOS/iPadOS 15. I assume the best you can do is
“forget this network” and connect again. Which I have done many times.

I still have a working iPhone 5 with iOS 10.3.4. The Renew Lease button
IS there.

All the other iPhones/iPods/iPads I have are on 15.7. Not interested in 16
at this point.

You lied to the op for no other reason that you wanted to pretend you knew
something he didn't know when it was you who didn't know anything about
what you were claiming.

He lied to the op because he wanted to pretend he knew something the op
didn't.

Nospam lied to the op because he wanted to pretend he knew something that
the op didn't know.

But nospam will never admit he lied though.

He'll deflect by saying others don't know face id works in the dark.

nospam is wrong of course™.

The Renew Lease button was removed in iOS 15. It was present in iOS 14.
See <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253214995>. That is why you
don't see it.

No one would think any worse of nospam if he simply admitted his mistake.

yep. i checked two devices, ios 10 & 14, and it was there. i didn't
expect it would be removed.

[sms]

Hey, don't rub it in. This may be the first time he ever admitted that
he was wrong!

The usual thing to do is to "Forget" the network then reconnect which
has the same effect as releasing and renewing, just less elegantly, and
you have to remember to choose the same Wi-Fi network when you reconnect.

When tech support is trying to resolve network issues with a user, a
release and renew button is helpful, which is probably why it was
included in iOS in the first place. Android never had this capability,
AFAIK.

[badgolferman]

Thank you for finally saying it. You're more human than I thought.

[sms]

The multi-stop routing in Apple Maps, and the battery percentage
indicator, long-desired, and oft-requested features by iPhone users,
were enough to get me to upgrade.

Don't get that on a SE3 with iOS 16

He now realizes that he's wrong and that the Renew Lease button was
removed beginning with iOS 15. The newspapers, radio, and television
stations have been notified that he admitted that he was actually wrong.

It was actually a nice feature because when you "Forget" the network,
then you have to choose from a list of available Wi-Fi networks and you
want to remember which one to choose.

Did the Renew Lease Button require you to re-enter the Wi-Fi password? I
never used it on my iPhone. OTOH, I've had to use ipconfig /release and
ipconfig /renew on Windows machines occasionally.

The reality is that this was likely a rarely used feature of iOS,
probably mainly used when trying to solve network problems unrelated to
the iPhone or iPad.
