How to turn off wi-fi on Apple devices

Audio

Wi-fi lets you connect to wireless networks in your vicinity.

Connecting to unsecured networks comes with some risks, so it's a good idea to turn off wi-fi when it's not needed.

To turn off wi-fi, open Settings. 

Tap Wi-Fi. 

Swipe to turn wi-fi off.

Wi-fi is now turned off and you can't connect to wi-fi networks until you turn it on again.

Since unsecured wi-fi comes with risks to your information, it's also a good idea to forget unsecured networks when you leave them.

To forget a network, open Settings. 

Tap Wi-Fi.

Tap the Information icon next to the network's name you would like to forget.

Then tap Forget This Network.
