As another data point:

I'm on ios 16.4. I see I have "AT&T Wi-Fi Passpoint" and "attwifi" added to "Managed Networks" - but I am able to disable auto-join for them. I wonder if that can be controlled by the carrier?

Does anyone know if there is a specific term for networks added like this to look for more documentation?



Something about "carrier to have access to "append"(the word managed was subverted here) the list or something like that in the documentation/news article stuff... I guess they just stuck the word "manage(d)" on the end users to physically read, but were prevented from using it in documentation...crazy


the carrier does already control your phone’s selection of DNS server and on iOS you can’t set DNS when connected to cellular without using apple’s VPN API through an app


Wait 5 minutes and check again, auto join will be on again


Mine have remained off for 30 minutes now. I'll try to check again tomorrow but if there's a reset time, it's more than 5 minutes.


So the good (?) news is this seems to be carrier dependent. In my case 5 of 9 carrier-managed networks will revert to auto join while with some carriers zero will.
