iPhone enables WiFi connectivity by itself

When I leave my home, I usually disable the wifi connections by greying out the wifi button through the control center. Everytime I arrive to a store or restaurant that has wifi, the iPhone turns the wifi button on by itself and it messes up whatever I was doing. Is there a way to stop this from happening without having to completely turn off wifi?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 15

Your iPhone is performing exactly as designed when you turn OFF Wi-Fi from the Control Center. Yes there is a way to turn OFF Wi-Fi completely until you turn it back ON from the Control Center or by going into settings.

Open Settings ➡️ Wi-Fi ➡️ OFF
