With the introduction of iOS 11 on iPhone and iPad, WLAN and Bluetooth can no longer be switched off in the control center. There is help with us..

The update to iOS 11 changes the behavior of WiFi and Bluetooth settings on your iPhone or iPad. It is no longer possible to completely switch off WLAN or Bluetooth in the control center. If you deactivate WLAN or Bluetooth in the control center, only the current connection will be disconnected. The modules continue to run in the background, for example, so that they can continue to communicate with the Apple Watch, AirPlay or AirDrop.

If you tap the symbols for WLAN and Bluetooth in the control center, they will turn gray, but they will continue to work in the background. The connection is only really broken when the symbols are crossed out. We'll explain how you can do this in the following:

• Have Siri turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
• Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth in airplane mode
• Switch off WLAN and Bluetooth in the settings
