Hello, it's Lonnie again. One thing I loved about my iPhone was the ability to come home and the device automatically turn wifi on when I got home. Can my new S10+ do this?

 

Thank you in advance,

Lonnie

Yes, by using Bixby Routines, you can set it up using the "If This, Then This" system and have a routine so when you are at home, WiFi will turn on.

Hey Lonnie, I hope you are doing well today.

Yes, this is possible and very easy to set up actually. I believe my device learned my locations automatically and knew where I turn WiFi on but you can set this up now and skip the process of the phone learning it on it's own.

Head over to:

• Settings>Advanced features>Bixby Routines

• Select a premade routine or create a new one by pressing the "+" on the top right. If creating a new one, give it a name.

• Under the "If" section, press the "+" button.

• Select the "Home" option then press next.

• Under the "Then" section, press the "+" button.

• Select the Wifi option and select the "on" option. Press the done button.

• Press done.

That's it, once your in your home area, the device should turn WiFi on automatically.

I hope this helps and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
