WiFi in iOS 11 keeps turning on

Each iOS update gets worse and worse. I miss when the music player was easier to use, especially while driving and the iOS didn’t feel so heavy it makes everything lag. I personally feel they do this to make you buy a new phone every two years or sooner. Since Steve Jobs passed it feels like Apple has turned into another company just looking for that quick turnover money.

Same here, also vote buttos does not work!

I guess everyone hates this new ”improvement” and they had to disable voting :D

Apple please provide easy way for downgrading ios, I cant use my phone until wifi button keeps wifi off!!!

This is massive security threat!

Much like every post here, this is THE worst update. Why Apple get to decide whether or not I want to hook into the WiFi is beyond me. I thought I was going crazy.

This needs to change ASAP. Poor form Apple!!

Yes this seems like step back. The ease of use of the control centre pre iOS 11 was great. Im sitting near an ‘open’ WiFi network which I need to authenticate to use (ISP dedicated AP). My phone automatically connects to it, disabling all network ability. How many times do I say no and forced to turn the wifi off through CC? Great, but every time my phone locks, I need to do it again upon unlocking as wifi attempts to reconnect. Of course I can manually go into settings manually but that is a unnecessary burden especially since Apple already had a great setup pre iOS. Please fix!

I’m so frutrated, I turn off my location, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to conserve battery. I do not have access to charge my phone during the day I work 13 hour shifts and since the change more often than not my battery is dead and I am unreachable.

Major disappointment with apple, this is not the only updated item with this update.

Without a return to the old way it will affect my new phone purchas in 6 months. I just cant have my battery loosing power like this.

I need to be able to text at the very least

That does not conserve any worthwhile amount of power. If power conservation is a major concern, read this.

We are users just like you are and threats like that don't really impress us.

You should always buy the tool that best meets your needs. If battery life is your chief concern, I'd recommend the Motorola Droid line. The battery life is amazing.

Sure. You’ve mentioned this many times. However, the fact remains now it’s multiple steps down, whereas it used to be a simple click.

The new way ***** from a user experience perspective, for many users. I’m glad you like it, for me it’s a huge pain in the butt.

This is by far the worst, unintuitive, most frustrating feature. From the flurry of patches for the new iOS, to the horrible messenger and notes UI, all this tells me the BS won't end anytime soon. The fact that I had to even look-up WHY my wireless services I've turned off are turning back on gives me PTSD of my Android days 6 years ago. I've been Apple customer since then, but between the new hardware design flops and the OS blunders, and after holding onto my iPhone 6S for quite some time in hopes that something good would come out of the woodwork, I'm leaving Apple. This was the last effing straw.

This alone has me wishing to find another phone. They need to fix this or a ton of people will switch too

Enjoy your new phone. I'm sure that it will meet your expectations 100%.

Description again, since you didn’t see it:

I walk in a downtown area. My phone attempts to connect to every open WiFi connection it gets into range with. Some of those require a confirmation, some are just crappy or overloaded. The affect is my connection drops constantly.

Plus, there’s this simple little control panel thingie. It USED to turn WiFi off, now it doesn’t, and the change has made the phone less useful.

Glad it’s working for you. It’s a pain in the *** for me, and many others.

9 paged worth, and growing. But you go ahead and disregard the complaints... pretty much what I expect Apple to do as well. Lord knows they never make a mistake. SMDH

How is that a solution? I listen to my phone constantly... how does letting my phone go to sleep helpnin any way?

Another case where it’s a pain... I work on the 20th floor. Most of the time, once I’m at my desk, it can’t pick up a WiFi signal at all, so it’s fine. If I head down for lunch, same problem... it tries to connect to every **** hotspot it gets near.

So how does your sleep option help me?

Actually they have but, fortunately, they correct those mistakes when they happen. The previous operation of the Control Center was a mistake. IOS-11 corrected that mistake.

Ah, so now there’s 2 steps to the process. Multiple clicks, plus turn off “ask to join” got it.

You have convinced me. You are a troll, or are being deliberately thick. You turn off "ask to join" ONCE FOR ALL TIME. You never touch it again.

Really? You never ever need to join another WiFi network?

I’m trying to figure out how regimented your life must be. Personally, I move around quite a bit... I’m always popping on and off WiFi networks. Hotels, entertainment centers, fairgrounds, coffee shops... etc.

Again, if it’s working for you, great. It ***** bawls for me.
