    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.

      Auto join hotspot is set to no.
