The Wi-Fi networks saved on your device may have a strong and full signal, and when paired with them automatically, you do not get any Internet connection, if you encounter a problem like this, you are not alone, and there is always a solution, and this solution will increase Privacy And security on your iPhone.
When you are away from home, you can connect to Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, restaurant, hotel, or anything like that. If you don't have cellular service or need to provide some cellular data, then Wi-Fi connectivity is the perfect solution. However, you might forget that the iPhone keeps your login information so it can connect automatically in the future. But it appears that this automatic connection is not always good.
Why Auto Wi-Fi Not Always Good
Many free automatic hotspots outside the home require phone authentication to function properly, but a notification of that authentication may not appear unless you open a browser. Safari First.
So your phone may automatically connect to the Wi-Fi, but you have not yet authenticated it, which leads to no Internet connection and you do not know. Even if the feature “Wi-Fi assistant or Wi-Fi Assist” is on, when activated, this feature is automatically switched to cellular data when the Wi-Fi network connection is weak. It may not switch to cellular data usage because the phone is already connected to a hotspot which is Wi-Fi.
In terms of security, The iPhone constantly issues what are known as "scan frames" or probe frames to search for nearby Wi-Fi signals to connect to them, even when Wi-Fi is disabled, this process continues, and this process poses a risk to privacy, as these search frames can be used from Hackers accept and thus see their information, and they can create a fake hotspot using the SSID name that is being searched for and that is being broadcast from your device. And since the iPhone only searches for a matching SSID, it can connect to the hacker’s fake AP access point, giving them your true MAC address and the possibility of hacking and causing more damage.
How to turn off automatic connection to hotspots
To prevent all of the above scenarios from happening, open Settings, then click "Wi-Fi." The iPhone will show you the hotspot you are connected to, as well as the networks of any other nearby devices. Locate the respective Wi-Fi network that you no longer want to connect to automatically, then tap it or click (i) next to its name. And if you wish to connect to this network manually in the future, just disable the setting “Auto join".
Doing so will prevent the iPhone from automatically trying to connect to the network from now on. If you no longer want anything about the saved network, click "Unsave this network", Then Save save In the pop-up window to confirm.
Interestingly, that iOS 14 It includes a new option to assign private Wi-Fi addresses to each WLAN you connect to, thus limiting iPhone tracking while using different Wi-Fi networks.
So make sure to always enable this option, but it will not prevent you from the internet disconnection issue that we mentioned earlier sometimes. Even Apple admits that, "The network may allow you to join with a private address, but it may not allow access to the Internet."

I have had this problem for more than a month
Thank you very important information
Sweetie
Actually, the internet is interrupted, especially in programs that require remote communication with groups
Brother, the blogger, I would like you to answer me a very important question
The application that you mentioned is a lot of it, which one do you mean, and I would like to remember the types of its competitor in case it works for me
My mobile phone every time I change it I am tired of the breaches even though I am careful and I have experience in the settings and I avoid it hacker is very strong God will not help him
It is not new for me, but it always comes from you
Thanks for your efforts with us
I noticed that when I activate my private IP, the internet is weak, and browsing and streaming is also weak, even though my internet speed is XNUMX MB .. so this feature was turned off
Distinguished gentlemen, it is possible to use This application It is very good for providing security to the network
You forgot to remember that the private address is similar to automatic joining -> meaning if it was turned off while you were connected to one of the networks and then you connected to another network, it would return to work, so it can be turned off only for the network that you trust
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
I am an old iPhone user and I know that the iPhone can only be hacked with a jailbreak, so how can the device be hacked and cause harm through Wi-Fi networks even though I did not do this thing called jailbreak
You scared me, frankly
An important topic again, I am a mobile phone that is hacked because of tires, even though I do not use Wi-Fi, and my device is hacked through the Mac number
And the Wi-Fi I used is rare
And 4 iPhones were bought because of Halchi
Is there an application that gives me privacy and strong security to browse?
I wish you could help me with reliable applications, even if I have a subscription
You can count On CloudFlare
Possible link to the program and does it have competitors, so that if it is set with me, try another application
By God, I lost more than $ XNUMX due to the breaches, as it connects to the hacker serial number that I always seek.
And if he reached the serial number, he had to change the iPhone
In the UAE we have a free service in all shopping centers and public places, which is UAE WiFi from telecommunications companies, and this service requires authentication via the browser, because each person has 100 hours of use per month for free, and for me this service does not concern me and I do not care about it at all because I do not trust any network In general, I use data from the phone and if my computer uses the Hotspot feature, I am usually surprised that my device is actually connected to the UAE WiFi network without my interference and there is no data flow or, to be more precise, the Internet in the device, and I cancel the network and exit from it, and this movement usually repeats, I expect after This explanation will be checked for intrusion of this network in the future, thank you Professor Mahmoud
Really, this is what I am currently doing and I don’t know what to do and my Wi-Fi network at home
Happy your time with good and pleasure and thank you for this valuable and useful proposition, grateful to you
👍
Medicine, I did not sell pitches a question more than once
