You have likely connected to many different Wi-Fi networks over time. So how can you get your Android device to hang up on a certain network? You need to get your device to “forget” it.

When you connect your Android phone to a Wi-Fi network, it will be saved for later. This allows your device to automatically connect to the network when you are in range. If you don’t want that and don’t want to use the network again, you can simply “forget” it.

The process of forgetting a Wi-Fi network varies slightly depending on your specific Android device. We’ll show you how to do it Google Pixel and a Samsung Galaxy phone.
