Ugh!!! For those who aren't aware, see "Wi-Fi told me everything about you" [1]. So what's the workaround? I have to go into Settings and turn it off there?

Ugh!!! For those who aren't aware, see "Wi-Fi told me everything about you" [1].
So what's the workaround? I have to go into Settings and turn it off there? Will that actually turn it off? We've already established that turning off wifi on Android may or may not actually turn it off [2].

- jonnytran 9y agoLooks like iOS does MAC address randomization during Wi-Fi probing since iOS 8.
- willstrafach 9y agoYes, turning it off in Control Center means it will not join new networks. In Settings, it actually explains this below the still-on Wi-Fi switch, which you can turn off.
