Unfortunately you can't find anything on iOS, since Apple doesn't give the right information in their normal API. There are some apps that graph connection speed, but that's not the same as signal strength. https://iphonebyte.com/wifi-signal-strength-meter-apps/
With Android, I suggest using Netgear WiFi Analytics. There are some others listed here: https://bestforandroid.com/wifi-signal-apps/
