If I am at a hotel or on some other free WiFi and it doesn't work reliably I just turn WiFi off and use my cell data. The problem I have is not so much with the feature, but with the fact that it's on by default. Many average users are not even aware of this setting especially since it's hidden way below all the apps listed in Cellular settings so it can just not be a good thing for people who don't have a lot of data and who wonder why they are using so much of it.

I've been away from home in locations which were supposed to provide free wifi, but what I've found is that their wifi was so excessively slow, or the signal was so excessively poor, that I could not use the internet at all without having wifi assist enabled to switch over to use of cellular data. I suppose I could keep trying and failing with the wifi, until I figured out it wasn't going to work, then tell it to go "forget this network", so it would then use my cellular data, but on my next visit it could work ok, but since I had to "forget" the network in order to use cell data, I'd never know without going through all that again. I guess I am never this close to using every last byte of my cell data plan, so I don't have to worry about it, and I simply want my phone to work and work quickly (especially since I use siri to execute a lot of my commands, and it needs internet access to even parse and execute my commands).

This is at the end of location services and I would turn off most of what is in there except of course Find my iPhone and so on. But there are things like traffic, frequent places, cell network search, Wi-fi Network search, automatic time zone and all of that which you can turn off, maybe that makes a difference as far as the message in the status bar that your Wi-Fi connection is active. Also make sure you go to Settings > Cellular and again almost at the bottom above Reset make sure WiFi Assist is turned off. This is more to protect yourself from using excessive cellular data since this setting means that if it is on your cellular data/connection is used to make up for situations when your WiFi signal is poor. I just realized when I checked it that it is on on my phone, I received a warranty replacement a couple of weeks ago and this setting is on by default and I hadn't turned it off yet. However, looking at the amount of data used, 3.8 Mb, it is very minor as this was over a two-week period. Lastly, make sure you don't, for some reason, have Personal Hotspot on.

But sometimes, it is there when I am not. Perhaps it is left over from when I was doing something, but I assume the connection is still live. Even when I close everything in the app switcher, it is still there. The only way I can cancel it is to reboot my phone. Any ideas why it is still there, and how to cancel it without having to reboot my phone?
