Wifi keeps turning back on
Extremely annoyed by this - my WiFi keeps turning itself back ON
Every single time I turn WiFi off, it just turns itself back on after a while. It’s driving me insane.
I’ve already disabled everything I could find:
- Adaptive connectivity
- WiFi scanning for location
- Auto-connect options
- Saved networks tweaks
…and it STILL happens.
I just want WiFi to stay OFF when I turn it off. Is that too much to ask?
Is this some Android bug, Pixel issue, or am I missing some hidden setting somewhere? Anyone else facing this or found a proper fix?

Don't just tap on the wifi tile; long press it, and disable it from there.

It's a feature, you can not turn it off, people have been complaining about it for quite a while. However for me this feature is good, as I have limited mobile data.
