Q: iOS 10 won't auto join Hidden Networks

I am using iOS 10.

 

I have an iPhone 5s and My house's WiFi is hidden. I can connect somewhat fine (I'l get to that in a sec) but whenever I leave the WiFi zone and return to it, my phone won't reconnect. When I do connect I enter the correct password and it says it is wrong. Then without changing the password or security settings I press "Join" again and I'm connected?

 

I do not have control over having a Hidden Network or not and while I can connect easily, It is extremely annoying and I forget to  manually rejoin often. Me forgetting is causing me to use more cellular data which is causing my family to have less data. This happens ONLY IN iOS 10 and never happened to me in iOS 9.

iPhone 5s, iOS 10.0.2, Hidden WiFi
