WiFi keeps turning on

[donebrasko]

My wifi keeps turning on at home. Is there a way to find out why?

Maybe the "Settings/Connections/WiFi/Advanced/Turn on Wi-Fi automatically" is enabled? That feature, if on, apparently turns on WiFi when you are in frequently visited places.

No it's off

Hm, maybe a Bixby routine?

Most likely you have auto reconnect turned on for the network you keep auto connecting to.

Look at what controls wifi history , also check in settings type special access in search bar and tap it under wifi control tap disable apps there

August? Is that a app?

Go to your Network and Internet settings. Look for Wifi. Move the slider to OFF. Your WiFi should not come on unless the slider is turned On. If the slider is turned to On then, those other things you say could happen depending on phone, carrier and network settings and other mysterious reasons.

Yes. Doorbell camera and door lock.

August kept cutting it back on.

Oh ok ...its good now?

 

[methodman89]

Go to apps, permissions, and turn off Wi-Fi for August. You will need to manually turn it on to use going forward. Good luck

 

[donebrasko]

Yes no more problems. Thanks
