    What he’s talking about is probably that turning off WiFi via quick settings or whatever it’s called doesn’t actually turn off WiFi, you still have to proceed all the way to the settings app.

      I owned and used a iPhone xs for a number of years. I can assure you that pressing the little WiFi icon in the control centre does the same thing as my Samsung galaxy s21 5g and various other android devices previous to the iPhone xs does and if all fails then you can always turn on airplane mode

        That may be true, I used to be an iPhone Xs user before my Pixel 7, and it used to drive me crazy seeing blue WiFi icon turning white, as opposed to turning the module off completely in the settings, when the icon becomes transparent.

        It is nitpicking though, for sure. I have tons of other, more significant complaints about iOS, I was just clarifying what it may have been that the other person was complaining about.

        Edit: Moreover, until you deliberately tell your phone to NOT automatically turn on WiFi after an hour or two, it will decide for itself that the time has come and it can drain your battery now.
