iOS 11 will improve the use of weak and public Wi-Fi networks

With iOS 11, our iPhones become smart enough to recognize an attempt to automatically connect to a weak Wi-Fi network and block it. A novelty he discovered Ryan Jones, it will be especially useful for users who use the feature Connection prompt, but it will also help those who use their iPhone in multiple places that they visit regularly during the day.

The new version of the system will recognize before connecting that the network is basically unusable for you at the moment and will give up all attempts to connect. This can come in handy especially when you're walking through your office building, for example, and regularly lose your connection to a stable cellular data network, as the iPhone automatically connects to weak Wi-Fi networks that are everywhere.

On the one hand, these are networks that you may be familiar with, and sometimes even use. For example, when it comes to a network in a coffee shop or a more remote office. But on the other hand, when you're just walking through a building, using them is pointless, in some situations even harmful, and that's why iOS 11 will ignore them.

The function will also work the same way when you walk in a shopping center, for example, past Starbucks, McDonald's, KFC and other places that you have visited and connected to public Wi-Fi there. Similarly, the novelty will also come in handy at the airport, which you will just pass through to your destination gate.

The only drawback remains the fact that if you want to connect to the network even though it is weak, slow and almost unusable, you will have to do so manually. Unfortunately, Apple didn't even add the option to disable the function in the settings or even better - activate it only for certain networks. However, it is possible that the option will be added to the final version of iOS 11.

So when I click on the network and see the switch to connect automatically. That's not it?? Correct or delete the article

No, the joke is that iOS 11 can override the set "auto-join" if the network is worth a fart. But for the last month or so I have the feeling that the articles on Jablíčkář are written somewhat less comprehensibly. Especially the adopted articles written by authors who didn't contribute much here before. But maybe it's just me being more tired than before and understanding the text will take more work for me.
