> they cannot have “automatically join” disabled

They can on my AT&T iOS 16.4 device. I was able to disable auto-join on the two AT&T ones. I didn't need to delete a network to enable the "done" button from the edit screen - the state I toggled for auto-joining the managed networks persisted even if I hit cancel on the edit screen.

I don't like that they're there and auto-join is on by default, but it does appear that can be turned off.

Check again in 4-5 minutes, it will be on again. I can disable it too, but it just switches back.

Just confirmed with Verizon

It’s been 30 minutes and they’re still off for me. I’ll check again later.

Are all of them off? Sorry to ask, because I have 9 “managed networks” and it seems like now that some turn back on immediately and some stay off.

Of course the ones physically nearby all switch back on…

Yes. I have just 2 of these managed networks : AT&T Wi-Fi Passpoint and attwifi. It could be that they’ll switch auto join back on if I move somewhere that they’re visible. Edit: just out of curiosity I rebooted to see if that would toggle auto-join back on, but it did not.
