The short answer is because people will pay for them.


Or better yet, duck it.


My main complaint with iOS(12) is that there is no quick way to disable WiFi. It's frustrating having to go to Settings -> WiFi multiple times a day for such a simple task.

Some times the networks the phone picks up don't even allow internet access right away, and any apps which requires an internet connection simply stops working.

I get the reasoning for making it easier for people to not waste their data. But I don't see why that requires adding so much friction to the rest of us.


You can disable WiFi quickly by swiping down (from the top right) to bring up control center and then tapping the WiFi button.


While Wi-Fi is disabled, auto-join for any nearby Wi-Fi networks is also disabled until:

- You turn on Wi-Fi in Control Center.

- You connect to a Wi-Fi network in Settings > Wi-Fi.

- You walk or drive to a new location.

- It's 5 AM local time.

- You restart your device.

Depends on what you call disable. Tapping in the control center will disconnect from WiFi but the phone will then connect automatically to any other network it knows.

'Desayuno, comida y cena' is how people refer to the main meals in the Dominican Republic, 'almuerzo' is also used to mean lunch but mostly in formal settings. I also just asked a Colombian friend and he says 'comida' is mostly used to refer to dinner, and 'almuerzo' for lunch.

Edit: He also says 'cena' is a more formal, less common way to refer to dinner.


I joined early this year as an iOS Developer. If you have any questions about life in the Netherlands or Booking.com itself, feel free to reach out to me at gmail.com@{{username}}
