My iPhone / iPad suddenly won't connect to your server

Last updated February 5, 2024

What to try when your iPhone or iPad stops connecting to EnGuard email: check your connection, restart, and update.

If your iPhone or iPad was working and suddenly cannot connect to our server, try these steps in order.

1. Check your Wi-Fi

Make sure your Wi-Fi is working. Try going online with another device nearby, or open Safari on your iPhone or iPad and visit a website you do not usually visit. For example, go to enguard.com and see if our home page loads.

2. Check your mobile data

If you are using mobile data (3G, 4G or 5G), you can lose the connection when you move between cell towers. Move to a spot with a stronger signal and the connection should come back on its own.

3. Restart your device

Your iPhone or iPad is a small computer, and sometimes it just needs a restart. Close all of your open apps, then turn the device off. Wait for it to turn off completely, wait about 10 seconds, and turn it back on. This fixes most connection problems.

If your device tells you an iOS update is waiting after it restarts, let it install.

4. Check for an iOS update

You may have postponed or skipped an update. Go to Settings, then General, then Software Update. If an update is available, tap Install Now. If you can, stay on strong Wi-Fi while it installs.
