When you are connected go to Settings/Wi-Fi and tap on the i next to the network name, and tap Forget this Network

Wifi auto connects to unknown public networks How do I stop my iphone 13 from auto joining unknown public networks? This is a huge, seriously unacceptable security risk. I have gone to Settings>Wifi>ask to join networks, this is off. Yet, I am noticing wherever I go, my phone is connecting to unsecured public networks I have never approved my phone to join. Whack-a-moling every network AFTER my phone connects is not a solution. At that point, my phone is already exposed. Where is the setting that stops my phone from auto connecting to unauthorized networks?
