After the new iOS 17.4.1 update comes, many users update their phones to get the new update in order to take advantage of it. But with this, users may face some issues and challenges. One of these challenges is no service after the update. If your iPhone display alerts show “No Service” or “Searching”, this happens because of a software or Hardware problem. Here, we show some quick ways to fix this issue.
1. Check the Cellular Coverage
When we go to the rural areas or some village areas, we mostly can’t get proper coverage because those places are situated so far from cell towers. Most cellular data providers provide their coverage maps, and you can check the coverage using those maps. Some areas don’t have 5G coverage and even some areas lack 4G coverage. In that case, change the network type as you want. You can do that, by going to the Settings and navigating to the Cellular then Cellular Data Options. Here, you can see Voice & Data and select the LTE. This gives a 4G network and also you can use Wi-Fi if you have a good Wi-Fi connection.
2. Restart the iPhone
This may help you to solve this issue. Restart methods change depending on the iPhone type.
