I highly recommend Network Cell Info Lite app for the network diag. It shows signal strength with all details for each of the SIM modules, shows on a map in real time where are the base station you are currently connected to, and other interesting statistics.

There’s no way you earnestly recommend the hot steaming pile of ad-ridden caca I just installed on my phone.

That might be the worst app I’ve used on my iPhone in a year. Better off vibe coding an app to give you signal strength.

Just tried the Android version and it was ok.

Well, there is a paid version (which I didn't try), presumably without ads. As for the Lite version, I don't know exactly why, but ads in this particular app never load on my phone. I see only a black space at the bottom where they supposedly should be visible, but they never load for some reason, without any action from my side. And I think the same happened on my previous phone too, need to check later.

Sorry, I came off too strong since you were just making a recommendation. But man is it bad on iOS.

Does iOS not have built in network signal details?

I don't need to install an app on my Android phone to see my network signal strength. It's kinda hidden though.

Settings->About Phone->Click the sim slot you want to see info for
