And to get a convenient "Wi-Fi Off" button (iOS, not Watch), you must now make a custom Shortcut on your Home Screen Thanks, Geniuses

I’m confused… to turn off Wi-Fi on WatchOS, you just swipe down and tap the Wi-Fi icon in Control Center.

  My mistake, edited to clarify I meant iOS, not the Watch. Though I did recently discover I can always make my watchOS Flashlight Red (instead of the default blinding White) by enabling Theater(?) Mode, which is nice.

Does turning off wifi using Aeroplane mode not work via the Control Center? I do know that Wifi-off button only disconnects from the current network, but that's all I really want most of the time anyway.

  iOS Airplane mode also disables Cell, Bluetooth, and Cell Data. I often wish to turn off WiFi without these other side-effects of Airplane mode.

Not only took me a long time to understand this but also almost always surprised on why Wi-Fi continues to be ON despite having turned off from control-centre in iOS! Terrible choice indeed!

Is the button in Control Center not enough?

  Since iOS 11, BT/WiFi OFF buttons were neutered to what I call "F^@& Off". Requiring either a cumbersome journey into Settings, or using the Shortcut App to make BT/WiFi OFF buttons for your homescreen This Quora user more helpfully explains: "Almost entirely to preserve a bunch of other features that depend on Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, including AirPlay, AirDrop, Apple Watch, Apple Pencil, and Handoff." https://www.quora.com/Why-does-Apple-not-actually-disable-WiFi-and-Bluetooth-when-you-turn-them-off-in-the-new-iOS-Control-Center https://www.quora.com/Why-does-Apple-not-actually-disable-Wi... Thankfully, the Cell Data button is still On/OFF
