If you're tapping the buttons in control center, it's a change whereby tapping the icons drops the current connection but does not shut WiFi (or Bluetooth) off; to do that you have to use the slide toggles in Settings.
This is quite handy as you can disconnect from a current troublesome WiFi network without having to remember to reenable it later.
From the iOS 11 manual for iPhone:
This behavior is also covered in more detail here:

He was only kidding.
But do you accept that it's a security risk?
Oh yes, for sure black licorice is a mighty big security risk.
The Control Center was never intended to duplicate the Settings menu.

Just seems turning a feature I turned off or visa versa isn't a great idea from a security standpoint.
There you go again. WHAT security issue are you alluding to?
Interesting. For me, I have to turn off location services depending on where I'm working...Maybe it's just a different perspective of the majority of consumers that I wasn't aware of.

A diet Coke isn't a real Coke.
Your friend is misinformed. LOL I buy Australian Red Licorice and no one can tell me it's not licorice! Nope, no one.
Encryption is better than open bits, but don't kid yourself about encryption being a good reason to auto-connect to anything. Encryption is a deterrent, not an end-game solution.
What's your point?
You did get answers you just ignored them. Who are these people going around auto-connecting to networks that they have not trusted? I need do that and don't know anyone else who does so.
You did get answers. You are probably a nice person. But you don't really understand what you're alluding too about security.
Go and trust that public wifi. Without a VPN, iPhone data is not secure over wifi, cellular is more secure. That is common knowledge.
Twizzlers are the only licorice worth eating. Red vines are gut rot and black licorice is up there with castor oil.
