What phone are you using that doesnt automatically enable wifi again when at home? Is this not the default? I think all mine had this in the last decade
So I’m using an iPhone, the horror, and it has three states for WiFi:
State 1 - WiFi is connected to an SSID.
State 2 - WiFi is NOT connected to an SSID but is actively scanning for networks to join.
State 3 - WiFi is NOT connected to an SSID AND is NOT scanning for networks to join.
If you pull down the control centre and toggle WiFi here, you end up in state 2. If you go to settings > WiFi and turn it off here, you end up in state 3.
There are other settings but this is how I’ve always handled it.
You can set Ask to Join Networks to Ask or Notify otherwise it will join what it wants.
You can, but as I said I don’t really care if I forget as I have unlimited data.
I do have some cool shortcuts though. Like turning off rotation lock when opening a streaming app. Or double tapping the back of the phone to flip a coin. My favourite is one that if I click it will search Giphy for Cats and send one to a friend who doesn’t really like cats and I like to annoy them.
I would say I can relate, but even my very first smartphone automatically connected to Wifi
Many people turn WiFi off when leaving the house as they don’t want it randomly trying to connect to other networks.
Then you forget to turn it back on. Although with unlimited data I don’t really care.

Auto join hotspot is set to no.
You can easily set a routine that turns on Wifi when you’re home and off when you leave.
