it has to learn. if you clear the cache on the wifi or forget your usual wifi stuff it may keep the wifi on. I think to speed up the process your toggle the wifi on and off a few times and then a message should pop up confirming the wifi control. I did this with my s10 note 10+ and a70. it works pretty seamlessly but I dont notice the battery improvement at all

there is no cache on wifi. it should simple turn wifi off when no known wifi sites are accessible. if I go to a location where no wifi sites are wifi remains on.

It is simple and works as intended. Did you try toggling the wifi icon till the message pops up?

Turn wifi on automatically, doesn't work anymore since the October 1 2019. a description of "turn on wifi automatically is also missing from the user manual.

I have included a capture of an area what no o have no wifi access yet wifi remains active.
