Many have noticed that disabling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, click Control on iOS 11 does not disable them completely. To disable the function, you need to enter the settings, which is not very convenient.

Apple has confirmed that it should be. When you disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in paragraph 11 Management on iOS, they are not turned off completely. The device is simply disconnected from the Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth accessories, but it continues to work with AirDrop, AirPlay, Apple Pencil, Apple Watch, etc.

How to roll back from iOS 11 to iOS 10.3.3


Apple explained the work functions in his new paper:

Disconnecting from the network Wi-Fi access.

When Wi-Fi access is disabled, auto-connect to the network is also turned off as long as:

  • You turn Wi-Fi access in Manage.

  • You are not connected to a network Wi-Fi access in Settings.

  • You will not go to another place.

  • Do not come 5 am local time.

  • You do not restart your device.


Disconnecting from the accessory Bluetooth.

When Bluetooth is off, you can not connect to accessories Bluetooth as long as:

  • You do not enable Bluetooth in paragraph Office.

  • You are not currently connected to a Bluetooth accessory in Settings.

  • Do not come 5 am local time.

  • You do not restart your device.


If you want to completely turn off the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, you will need to do this in Settings.

This unusual innovation, but it is logical to connect to the Apple Watch and Apple Pencil.
