Annoying wifi connection handling
ever since ios updated to 11.x and ios 12, my iphone 6 has been very troublesome handling wifi connections. On the quick access menu, the wifi icon now has 3 possible states (compared to two before): off, on (blue) or white, where iphone will try to connect to a network when in range. The only way to get to off state is via the settings icon. When from quick access menu, trying to switch off from blue it only goes to white. The problem is that the iphone had been connecting to random networks when im walking the street and often I can see that the wifi icon is actually connected though the internet doesnt work. In fact usually i notice this because im trying to access internet on my data plan and it‘s not working. So not only is it a potential security issue but it’s quite annoying as well when the internet stops working.
So now when im not on my home or work wifi i have to manually disable wifi through settings. I’m aware of the “Ask to join network” toggle and this only makes the problem more annoying as it asks to join a network every shop or house you walk past.
Hard to believe the richest company (or one of) on earth treats its customers in this way (likely last apple product). Please resolve this problem. Thanks
