Unlike other wi-fi networks however, a hidden network will never randomly popup and ask for a connection, regardless of how you have that setting toggled in iOS.

Just like any other wifi router, you can forget the wi-fi network if you want to to stop auto-connections from happening, just keep in mind that if you forget a hidden network, you’ll need to go through the above steps to discover and connect to the wireless router again. Super easy, right? Once the hidden network is joined, it will be included in the list of active networks, and included in the networks that are automatically joined. Use the Wi-fi as usual, the name will appear as the connected wireless network as usual in iOS Settings.Enter the wi-fi routers password as usual, then tap on “Join” to connect to the hidden wireless network.Tap back onto “Other Network” to go to the primary connection screen.Tap on “Security” and choose the type of network encryption used (assuming it’s a secure network, choose ‘none’ if there is no wireless security).In ‘Name’ put the exact wi-fi network name of the hidden router, this is the SSID name of the wi-fi router that is not broadcast – you must know the name of the network otherwise iOS can’t locate the invisible router.
