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.

The phone doesn’t know that the other network has better internet until it joins, which it won’t do as long as it’s still getting internet from the slow one, no matter how slow.
This is different from the same WiFi network on multiple access points, which do allow the phone to switch.
