Forget a network for good
Stop a device rejoining a network you no longer want it on.
A device saves every network it has joined, password and all, and rejoins each one whenever it is in range.
Forgetting deletes that copy. The network stays; your device stops walking into it.
Key points
- Devices remember every network they have joined and rejoin them on sight
- Forget This Network deletes that memory, on that one device
What to remember
- Forgetting happens on this device alone.
- Forgetting removes the memory, not the network.
Try this
Read the networks your own phone has saved. Forget any you will never sit near again.
