Geek Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/iphone-stop-wifi-popup.jpg" alt="Stop Wi-Fi Popup Alerts on iPhone" title="iphone-stop-wifi-popup" width="620" height="521" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-29214" /></p> <p>Annoyed by those persistent wi-fi network popups that show up on the iPhone screen every time a wireless network is in range? You can disable the wi-fi alerts completely by preventing the iPhone from searching for unknown networks, this has no effect on the regular cellular internet connection or accepted wireless networks, here’s how to do it:</p> <ol> <li>Open Settings and tap “Wi-Fi” near the top</li> <li>Scroll down below available wireless routers and flip “Ask to Join Networks” to OFF</li> <li>Exit out of Settings</li> </ol> <p>With the setting disabled, only known networks will be joined automatically, and the iPhone will no longer automatically search for and attempt to connect to random wi-fi networks. This means you will have to join new wireless networks manually by going through the same Wi-Fi setting and selecting the network directly. </p> <p>Be aware that turning off this setting could lead to more cellular data being used, you may want to <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/06/02/check-iphone-data-usage-on-att/">keep an eye on data use</a> initially if you choose this option, because even the traditionally auto-accepted hotspots like Starbucks will no longer join on their own and will require manual connections.</p> <p>On the plus side, disabling this setting can also save some <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/08/19/iphone-battery-life/">battery life</a> since the iPhone is no longer actively seeking out wireless networks to join.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3d-D-PSRBPORBlDTfgRY0PXoIr8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3d-D-PSRBPORBlDTfgRY0PXoIr8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3d-D-PSRBPORBlDTfgRY0PXoIr8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3d-D-PSRBPORBlDTfgRY0PXoIr8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=MBkEIyRvJ8Y:mHQiwUnF-qs:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=MBkEIyRvJ8Y:mHQiwUnF-qs:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=MBkEIyRvJ8Y:mHQiwUnF-qs:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=MBkEIyRvJ8Y:mHQiwUnF-qs:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=MBkEIyRvJ8Y:mHQiwUnF-qs:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=MBkEIyRvJ8Y:mHQiwUnF-qs:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=MBkEIyRvJ8Y:mHQiwUnF-qs:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/MBkEIyRvJ8Y" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
