If not may be worth a try...

I’m almost afraid to say but I have found out why my We Connect stopped working.
For some reason I decided to check my Privacy Settings only find that it was set to ‘Maximum privacy‘ rather than ‘Share my position‘. I had definitely not changed the settings myself so the car must have done it itself! In Maximum privacy the eSIM is deactivate so, obviously, the car can’t communicate with my iPhone.
Why would the car change it’s settings by itself? Very weird and annoying! Why oh why didn’t I think of checking my Privacy settings?

Thank god got that sorted
About the battery trick, removing the cable for 10 seconds wont lose personalization, clock or other ..
Talked to a couple that have done it and they had no problem with that.
Actually i am told that this is what VW actually do before they start messing with the telematic unit…

Thanks @Massimo 2323
@Maturedriver - ensuring privacy is set to least restrictive is the first thing to check if the car loses connection.
If it's set to maximum privacy you will see an icon like a spy in the top right of the infotainment screen.
The most likely reason for switching to maximum privacy is that the user is set to 'guest' rather than 'primary'. This could happen, for example, if you use a different key to the one normally associated with the primary user.
In guest user mode, privacy defaults to maximum (most restrictive).

Sadly when I was at school neither the digital watch or electronic calculator had been invented. When I got my first car (Austin Healey ‘Frogeyed’ Sprite) it didn’t even have a radio let alone a infotainment screen. I have to work hard to fully understand all this modern computery stuff.
I had the same issue right after I bought a car. All permissions were on, etc, etc. Went to the dealership, a guy just unplugged the battery and plugged it in, then everything started to work (you'll also need to adjust the sensors after you plug-unplug the battery by turning the steering wheel from one side to another for several times).
