What Happens When You Reset Network Settings On Your iPhone?

Resetting your iPhone’s network settings will delete all network-related data or information on your device. Fear not: this does not tamper with your own personal information or files. All it does is wipe information like your carrier or operator’s APN settings, WiFi username and password, VPN settings, Bluetooth settings, and the like.

This means that you will have to re-enter some, if not all, of these information after the reset is done. Make sure you have the valid settings from your providers, so you can enter them. In some cases, your wireless carrier or network operator will automatically send in the correct APN settings. You can also get them off their website.
