Q: Does wifi turns off when the screen is locked?

I just wonder if it does. I want to know cause I want to save some battery life.

If it doesn't is there a way on the setting to turn that feature on?

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.2

HI. WI-FI is still on when the screen is locked. Unfortunately there is no such feature. You may find all info about WI-FI settings hereiOS: Connecting to Wi-Fi - Apple Support

Wifi is put into a power-conservation mode shortly after the screen is locked.

If you wish to you can turn WiFi off via Settings > Wifi or Settings > Airplane Mode.
