Hi all,
Hoping I could get some help here. I would like my iPad mini (WiFi) to connect automatically to my Work Wifi, but not my iPhone. It would appear even 'Forgetting the network' on my iPhone affects connectivity on my iPad and vice versa. I do use keychain across all my devices, but this seems to be limiting me from selectively connecting certain devices to WiFi. Anyone else have this issue ? Or can offer any help ?
iPhone 13 Pro
As you may already realise, your WiFi password are stored within - and shared between devices - using your Keychain. This simplifies connection to known WiFi networks.
You can control whether or not an individual device will automatically connect to any specific WiFi network from the individual device settings while you are within range of the target WiFi network:
Settings > WiFi > [WiFi Network Name] - tap the blue “i” icon - Auto-Join - set to ON or OFF as required
This setting is applied by the device upon which it is set. As such, while your iPad and iPhone may share the WiFi network credentials via your Keychain, you can configure only one device to automatically connect to the target WiFi network when within range.
The Auto-Join setting is set individually for each device and network; the setting itself is not shared between devices.

Thank you for your response.
So yes, i should've mentioned I tried this multiple times on my iPhone however I do notice that it keeps connecting back to the WiFi.
Have you experienced this ?
