Have you noticed that your iPhone is asking to join new Wi-Fi networks?
By turning off one simple setting, you can prevent this from happening. Here’s how to stop your iPhone from asking to join Wi-Fi networks.
Disable Ask to Join Networks
1) Open your Settings app.
2) Select Wi-Fi.
3) At the bottom, turn off Ask to Join Networks by moving the slider.
Now, you will still automatically connect to known networks as you did with this setting enabled. But, if there aren’t any known networks available, you’ll have to select it manually rather than being asked.
