The first thing to check if your WiFi is not working is to make sure your device is not in Airplane modethis can be done by going to Settings and then making sure that the toggle for Airplane mode is off.

The next thing that you can try to get your WiFi working on your iPhone is a simple reboot of the device. This can be done by turning the handset on and off.
