1 Turn Off WiFi
There are three ways to turn off WiFi on your iOS device:
Turn off WiFi by Asking Siri
- Say: "Hey Siri"
- Wait a moment for Siri to indicate she's listening, then say "Turn off WiFi."
Turn off WiFi through the Control Center
This is a quick method but it only disconnects your WiFi devices until:
- The next day at 5 AM
- You move to another location
- You restart your device
- You reconnect manually
- Open the Control Center.
On iPhone X or later, or iPad with iOS 12 or later
- Swipe down from the top right corner of the screen.
On iPhone 8 or earlier, iPad with iOS 11 or earlier
- Swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
- Tap the WiFi icon to turn it off.
- The WiFi icon will switch to white once it's turned Off.
Turn off WiFi through the Settings
- Open Settings on your phone or tablet.
- Go to Wi-Fi.
- Tap the toggle switch to the right of Wi-Fi to turn it off.
