It only works for your saved wifi networks, if 2 saved wifi networks are in range and the other one have better signal, then it will switch to that network.

Check your wifi > advanced setting > manage networks, switch to better networks feature will only work on those saved wifi networks, not on new or unknown wifi networks.

It won't. 1st it won't connect to unsecured APs unless you allow it. 2nd if you haven't authenticated in the past to a secured AP the phone selects it won't connect. It will also help if you read up on WiFi and how it works.

Im just cautious ⚠️ thats all, there are some intentionally don't put a lock on their network if someone accidentally connects to it, there is a chance of attack ,
But if your ok with it good luck to you

It won't automatically connect to a network you haven't connected to before

Did you read the context, "automatically find better connections and this will happen when sceen is off" oh man, you won't even know something running in background when you're not there, SmartSelect_20221213_093627_Settings_1000001219_1670895387.jpg

it doesn't mean that it'll connect to an unknown network. Read Red0902's comment.

"Automatically find better connection" that are included in your saved (trusted) wifi networks. This does not include connections that it doesn't recognize.
