Why phones try to stick to a WiFi for dear life?

why do phones try to stick to a connected wifi network for dear life even though I’ve moved far from it that it’s barely useable anymore; all while I’m near another ‘remembered’ wifi network with very strong signal?

The phone knows the password of the other wifi that I’m near at, and i have set it to auto-join. But no it refuse to connect to it and prefer to hold onto where it’s last connected. I need to manually tap the other network everytime I move.

Your phone will not check for other signals as long as it is conected to one. Imagine if there were many signals available, your phone would just be constantly switching up with the slightest change.
