I’ve tested the following scenarios
- confirm auto-join disabled, wait 10min, recheck and still disabled.
— confirm auto-join disabled, reboot, recheck and still disabled.
- confirm auto-join disabled, enable airplane mode, recheck and still disabled.
- confirm auto-join disabled, disable wifi, re-enable wifi, recheck and confirm still not auto-join enabled.
- confirm auto-join disabled, switch cellular data to alternate esim, switch back, confirm still not auto-join enabled.
At this point I feel there must be something different about your setup that’s non-standard in some way.
It’s slimey as hell that they get added automatically, but still very much possible to disable at least it seems.
Edit:
“Wingman” and related variations never appear on either of my T-mobile devices.
- newZWhoDis 4y agoWow, thank you for your detailed post. I have multiple iPhone 14 Pro Max, all 16.4 All on Xfinity Mobile 54.0.1 Yes, I know Comcast sucks but they are the only provider in my area for gigabit and they whitelabel Verizon mmWave 5G for a serious discount if you bundle with their internet (which I’m basically forced to use) In my case, I disable auto join on all 9 managed networks and 5 of them are back to enabled before I’m done checking the list.
- TylerE 4y agoIf you don't want the service, why did you buy it, even if the discount was 100%?
- newZWhoDis 4y ago“The service” was cellphone service, there is no logical reason my phone OS should arbitrarily lock me out of wifi settings due to my cellular carrier.
- TylerE 4y agoOh. By the way you called it out as "mmWave" I assumed this meant it was some sort of wide-area thing and not generic 5g coverage.
- newZWhoDis 4y agoAh, no it’s regular LTE/5G but also has the advantage of being 5G+ (mmWave symbol on iOS) so I get near-gig cellular speeds.
