As mentioned earlier, connecting your iPhone to a specific WiFi network with the name "%p%s%s%s%s%n" can wreck the device's ability to connect. Now, it was discovered by the YouTuber Zollotech that Apple has quietly fixed the WiFi bug in the latest iOS 14,7 beta. What this means is that the fix will be coming with the rollout of the update to everyone soon.
