iOS 11 control center Wi Fi Button
So I noticed that the WiFi button in control center no longer turns off wi fi, it just disconnects you from the current wi fi network if you're connected to one. If you come within range of a previously connected network it will then connect to that network automatically unless you go into settings and turn of wi fi. I was told leaving the wi fi radio turned on but not connected actually helps with location services so perhaps this is why the change to encourage people to leave the wi fi turned on even if it isn't connected so it will auto connected to trusted networks or networks with no password, or maybe just to grab ip address data without connecting. I do have to turn it off to prevent it from connecting to my open wi fi at work as that connection is slower than LTE.
