EOS-6D: iPhone 6s not able to detect 6D's wifi

I recently changed my phone from iPhone 6 to iPhone 6s. iPhone 6S wasn't able to detect camera's wifi. My iPad mini 2 was able to detect camera's wifi. Is this a known issue and a solution for it? Thank you in advance.

1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Someone from Apple communitty provides some tips. It turned out that I simply needed to reboot my phone for iPhone to detect camera's wifi signal. Thanks to everyone who helped me.

My problem is that from my iPhone 6s wifi setting, Canon's SSID isn't shown so I have no way to tell iPhone to connect to my camera.

Maybe you need to turn the other phone off, so that the camera can reconnect to the new one.  Who knows?

Use the above link to find the EOS-6D support page, where you will find a link to "Wireless Help" videos.

 

[EDIT]

Here is a current thread on the same topic, which seems to contain step by step instructions.

Thank you. I did all of them. My old phone was discommisioned (factory reset). I no longer possess it.

 

I also read the other thread before posting mine. My problem is that iPhone 6s doesn't detect camera's wifi. I have also posed my problem at Apple Community. So far, no solution yet.

Make sure you know who is the client and who is the access point in this arrangement. If the 6D is advertising an SSID, then it's presumably the access point. Can your laptop computer see it? If it can and the phone can't, then make sure the phone isn't trying to be the access point rather than the clent.
