I'm new to the iPhone. I wonder how I can turn wifi or bluetooth off permanently in the Control Center. When I press the button, it says that wifi is turned off until tomorrow, whatever that means.

For some people this may work, but not for me. I almost never use wifi, and if I turn it on and then turn it off, I don't want to go into the settings to handle it there. Is there a setting I'm missing that can change this behavior? Same goes for Bluetooth.

  • It’s designed so that WiFi and Bluetooth are always on. This simplifies the experience, so that things “just work”. What’s your concern with having them on?

    You can long press the icon twice, which will give you a direct link to the relevant settings btw.

  • I'm fine with this "design", if I could change it somewhere deep in the settings to have it work like I want it. Long pressing would be great but doesn't open the settings. It opens a bigger popup, not the actual settings. Why do I want this? I want control and easy access. I would expect in the settings a button to change this behavior.

  • Long press once to open the bigger pop up, long press again to open the modal, then tap “Settings…” on the bottom

Turning off WiFi in Control Center is a temporary toggle. Apple intended it to be that, way. Why? your guess is as good as mine.

If you want WiFi off go into

Settings > Wi-Fi

And toggle the green switch at the top to off. It will stay that way. Only control center turns it off temporarily.
