But only to known ones not just any random ones.It’s not disabled if it auto connects to WiFi.

There’s a lot of buildings where that is the only reliable choice as the cell signal is poor at best.I’m more shocked so many use public WiFi lol
Yes, because obviously your experience means that everyone is affected similarly!
So to torpedo the hysteria...
iPhone 7+, iOS11 release (I have no use for betas)
a Cisco-based lightweight wireless system
the SSID in question requires a login via a "browser" (the normal iOS redirect)
And it works just fine.
What happens if you "forget" the network on the phone, and try to connect again?
If this is truly an issue for a very large number of Apple users, how has this not gotten pretty much any attention (let alone significant attention) after all this time that the issue has supposedly been around?It's not hysteria. It's 100 percent accurate.
Forgetting networks, logging in through browsers using Apple.com and router IP addresses, restarting devices, resetting network settings, restoring the device... nothing works.
I've spoken to Apple three times — including a long talk with the most senior tech people they have (the ones who actually call you on the phone). I also schlepped to the Genius Bar and spoke with the most senior person there. All the same answer — which is to say none at all.
They're embarrassed when they talk to you, because they don't have a solution. There's no way to fix it yet, which means we all have to wait until the next iOS update. I read the notes myself on the internal Genius Wiki.
Any Apple user who relies on WiFi networks that have a captive portal page, which is a very large number of Apple users, is simply ****ed.

I am required to use institutional public wifi at my work. In iOS 11 There appears to be a problem with the security settings and auto login. Specifically, public wifi networks which require a browser login will not connect fully. This has completely screwed me over. I don’t know whether this is a bug or a security feature, but either way it is unacceptable. Do not upgrade if you need to use public wifi.
Why are you antagonizing people who are saying they have problems with their phones? I went to Genius Bar and I spoke to top tier tech at Apple. THEY said this is a problem for which they have no solution. Do you want to disagree with them too?
This thread is back from September of last year when iOS 11 was just released, how exactly is that recent? Much more recent issues from just days/weeks ago often enough have long threads and even multiple threads about them if they are even somewhat widespread.This is a pretty recent issue. Are you reading this board? A lot of people have been experiencing this since last year. And you can be sure for every person on this Mac board, there are thousands who arent tech savvy enough to feel like they can Google around and solve it themselves.

Way to spread misinformation.

because you advised the entire planet to not update to iOS 11 because of an issue that affects a microscopic percentage of iOS users.
Not having a problem with my iPhone any public WiFI
You do understand this is a discussion forum where people post their experiences. Someone posting that they are seeing or not seeing an issue doesn't somehow imply that everyone else is having it or no one else is having it, unless that person actually says that. In the case of a lot of these posters they are posting their experiences with it without saying that no one else has the issue. Not sure how somehow twisting what they are saying and being confrontational about it is doing anyone or anything any good.Oh. For real? You're not? I'm really glad you said something, because that must mean no one is having trouble with their phones and we're all just dreaming.
I am on public wifi all day with iPad and iPhone both on iOS 11.4 b5. I have had no issues with public wifi since iOS 11 early betas.Oh. For real? You're not? I'm really glad you said something, because that must mean no one is having trouble with their phones and we're all just dreaming.
