There is a setting that turns wifi on automatically when using heavy data consuming apps and the phone senses a familiar network. You can the feature off but it will pop up and ask you to enable the feature every time you open a high consumption app.

Does this mean that if I never connect via Wifi, I won't get that message since no "familiar" networks will even exist to the phone?

So how exactly do you turn this off

I believe so because I didn't see the message until after I connected to my home network.

Under settings go to wifi then click advanced and you will see a checkbox to turn the auto connect feature off.

That has always been off and it still does it
