Create a shortcut on your home screen that turns off wifi and bluetooth.

"stalker beacon".. Stop being paranoid, Apple can't see your location and doesn't care. The same can't be said about Google and their Android OS.

Yea, you boomers don't get the point and now you're saying it's greedy commercial reason lol.

You don’t have to turn it off that way. Easier options are creating a shortcut or by Siri.

Not “every other phone” allows turning off from control center, but every Android phone.

Instead of spitting on Apple, try to understand why it is like that. Wifi and Bluetooth can be used to determine location, communicate with other Apple devices (iPhone, Apple Watch, AirTag etc.), and I guess it helps if the phone gets stolen too. Additionally, if you have an Apple Watch and your heart rate drops too much, having bluetooth on can save your life. Finally, I used to turn off wifi and bluetooth, but the battery drains the same percentage with wifi and BT on.

I had no problems prior to iOS 16.2. Background app refresh has been off, and no location allowed for weather. I manually entered the location and it was working.

iOS 16.2 managed to mess it up. I’ve tried removing the widget and adding a new one - still the same. Tried turning on location and background refresh, again the same. It occurs when I’m not using phone for an hour or so. It only updates when I click on the widget.

Any solutions?
