Hello,
QQ for the Wi-Fi/Accessories team. Is the expectation that Wi-Fi Aware will work properly when the iPhone has Wi-Fi off either in settings or control center? I am able to reproduce errors where it does not work properly if the Wi-Fi on the phone is turned off. Please let me know best practices
Using iPhone 17 pro on iOS 26.6
The behaviour I’d expect is:
- Disabling Wi-Fi in Control Centre should have no effect on Wi-Fi Aware.
- Turning Wi-Fi off in Settings should disable Wi-Fi Aware.
Likewise for Apple peer-to-peer Wi-Fi.
That’s based the user-level behaviour described in Use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in Control Center. Please rerun your tests with this in mind, and then reply back here with the results, because I’m curious as to whether my expectations match your reality.
Share and Enjoy
