To actually turn off Bluetooth and wifi users will need to head into the Settings app and manually turn them off, which deactivates them until 5am the next morning, or use Airplane mode.Īpple says that by toggling wifi in Control Centre, the iPhone or iPad will not connect to any wifi networks until a user travels to a new location, they restart their device or the time ticks past 5am.
