I have an iPhone 12 on AT&T and every time I walk past this one hotel (almost daily) that has attwifi network going, this screen pops up and it's difficult to get rid of. I have turned off auto-join, Ask to join networks, and Auto-join hotspot but it still comes up.
It throws my network off and is incredibly annoying. I don't want to have to disable WiFi on my phone.
If I hit cancel I get this:

Hello Drumwiz,
We understand you'd like to prevent your iPhone from automatically connecting to Wi-Fi hot spots provided by your carrier. We'd be happy to provide information.
What you're experiencing is normal behavior. AT&T devices automatically connect to their Wi-Fi hotspots when you're at an AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spot location. You can learn more about this here: Connect to AT&T Hot Spots or public Wi-Fi.
Alternatively, you can try to forget the hot spot from your Wi-Fi settings but since this is a feature from you carrier, it is not guaranteed forgetting the network will help: How to forget a Wi-Fi network on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac.
We hope this helps.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
It's pretty lame and incredibly annoying that you can't turn this off. Carriers shouldn't be allowed to control how my phone operates/what networks it joins.
How do I stop my iPhone from trying to join AT&T wifi from nearby hotel?
