iPhone 15 pro max turns WiFi on by itself

Why does Wi-Fi turn itself On , I turn it off at night? I wake up and it’s on this is very annoying and needs to be fixed. I’m not the only one having this issue.

And you turned it off by going to settings - wifi - OFF?

Did you turn it off by going to Settings>WiFi and turning it off there, or did you turn it off from control center? There is a difference.

Turning it off in control center will shut it off until the next day.

I have to apologize. I wasn’t thinking straight very tired. Apparently I thought control center would turn it off and leave it off. I did not turn it off in Settings which I will do tonight you have to excuse me. I just came from an android phone two days ago after 20+ years back to iPhone and I thought it would turn off like android phone and not come back on on android, there is no control center directly in settings that’s why I thought it was the same so please ignore that last message. I wish I could delete it because I feel really dumb. Thank you so much.

No worries, no need to feel dumb, it's a still a learning experience with a new phone.

I see you've got this sorted, but I have to ask why you feel it necessary to turn Wifi off at night? One of the best things you can do with your iPhone is plug it in to charge at night, leaving it on the charger all night, with Wifi turned on. This ensures your iPhone will automatically backup so you're never missing more than a days worth of data, should something unfortunate happen and need to restore the phone from a backup.

Do what you want, it's your phone. iPhone's don't routinely go up in flames. They have very sophisticated heat and battery management systems built into them. If you're really concerned about Wifi causing issues when you sleep, have you considered how much more power the cellular radio uses compared to Wifi? Given your concerns, you'd likely be better off powering the phone off at night completely, because what you're doing, honestly doesn't make that much sense in the modern age.
