**Network settings reset deletes** all network settings on your iPhone, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi networks, and VPN configurations. It's a method of restarting your iPhone after connecting to Bluetooth devices or Wi-Fi networks. Network issues on your iPhone are also repaired during the procedure. \
Before you begin, make a note of all your Wi-Fi passwords, as you will need to re-enter them later. Once you're finished, follow these **steps to reset your iPhone 8's network settings:** \
\
\

1. Open the **Settings app** by tapping.
2. Select **General.**
3. **Scroll down to Reset** and tap it.
4. Select the **Reset Network Settings** option.
5. To proceed, enter your **device's passcode** if prompted.
6. Wait for your iPhone to **reset its network settings** and then restart on its own.

\
Set up your Wi-Fi networks, activate Bluetooth, and then scan for and **restart Bluetooth pairing.**
