Do you remember the (in)famoust auto-on feature of Wifi introduced in ios11?, the one that automatically "turned on" the wifi on the iphone when, for example, you arrived home, after you manually turned wifi off when leaving home (I don't like my phone connecting to the office wifi)?. Well, I actually like it very much, but in about 48hrs of testing ios12 it seems that it is no longer working. Location services is working, geofences and reminders work fine, wifi password has not changed, manually "turning wifi on" from Control Center solves the issue for the moment, same phone, the only variable is ios12.

Has anyone put any attention to this feature in ios12?, is it working as in ios11 for you in ios12?, any suggestion, comments?.

I know I can try to "reset network settings", but it is a hassle to manually input again aaaallll the passwords of my trusted hotspots (family and friends mostly). I think it was 2 years ago the last time I reseted the network settings...
