- mikeash 9y agoYou can still easily turn off WiFi. It's two or three taps, depending on how you want to get to the setting and what you count as a "tap". The problem isn't that Apple made it hard to turn off WiFi, it's that they changed one of the controls without making it clear that it had changed.
- Tepix 9y ago@mikeash it takes a minimum of 4 or 5 taps and button presses.
- mikeash 9y agoOn my 6+, the sequence is: press home button, tap Settings, Wi-Fi, Off. That's 3-4 depending on whether you count the home button. On a 6s or newer, with 3D touch, you can cut it down to 2-3: unlock, force touch on Settings and toggle WiFi from the menu that appears. (That might be 1-2, I forget whether you can force touch and drag to what you want to activate, or whether it has to be a separate tap.)
- Tepix 9y agoI didn't know about using force touch on the settings app. However when I tap on the wifi menu entry that appears, I still need yet another tap to disable wifi. Anyway, here's my count: 1. use touch-id to unlock the phone 2. press home to get to first screen with the settings app (if you aren't already) 3. tap Wifi 4. turn it off You then need to navigate back to where you were previously.
